Alluring Orchid Question

[elock49]

In mage wars academy, if you are playing against someone that has the "alluring orchid" and you only have minor creatures, can you choose to guard instead of attack the orchid, or do you have no choice but to attack the orchid.

under the original card version you would have to attack the orchid with minor creatures. as part of the arena wrap up version release testing going on right now there is a new version of that card that would allow you to do other things. however if a minor creature did attempt a non counterstrike it would have to attack the orchid. also it lost the regeneration trait as well.

Are the changes going on now going to impact Academy play, or just Arena? So... in other words... would the original Aluring Orchid be the spell in use in Academy, or would the new spell be used in Academy as well as Arena?

that is a good question. i think the changes are only for arena. but coshade would know for certain.
