Conclusive evidence for future teleport-counter

[Sailor Vulcan]

Conclusive evidence for future spell to counter teleport in organized play story material:

"Explain to me again why we can’t just teleport into the middle of them?” she complained, “this is… degrading.”

“The Warlord is wiser than he seems,” Laddenfance smirked. “His officers carry ancient stones that prevent teleportation. We could never cross the distance to his command tent."


So now my question is...when?

Not sure whether this should go in spells or in world and lore section, so I put it here.

Lets highly speculate here. If there is some kind of "ancient stones"...

a) is it equipment, if yes, it is attachable to mages only? Will we see attachable equip for creatures or specific subtypes (Knights)?

or

b) is it a conjuration (warding stones, gravikor).

Now, would it be for every one or xxxx mage only and how much it will changes meta? And do we really need it?

It sounds like a card that attaches to a creature.  Either an enchantment, or a conjuration that attaches to creatures and gives them a buff, or causes an effect in their zone or nearby zones even.

So far the only attaching conjurations we've seen are negatives, but it's a natural design space to explore buffing attached conjurations which I will refer to as "gear" until we have an official name for them.  They will have to be careful in designing gear since there is no dispel/dissolve to target overpowering gear.  But if carefully designed, and mostly defensive in nature gear should be balance-able.  They can't make equipment that attaches to creatures without rewriting significant parts of the rule book.

Now, would it be for every one or xxxx mage only and how much it will changes meta? And do we really need it?

I hope it is not restricted because I do think we need it.  Or at least by providing a defense against teleport you will be turning on cards like strangle-vine and quicksand that are currently unplayable.  And, if the teleport prevention card cannot protect the mage himself, teleport can still be the bunkerbuster it was designed to be, to prevent long turtly games.

Laddinfance and melathia are mages. In the story material the enemy soldiers are holding stones that prevent melathia and laddinfance from teleporting past them.

@BoomFrog... Why would equipment castable on creature require rulebook rewrite?

I don´t need ancient stones to avoid telopartion of my oponent mage, i use nullyfi on him to avoid that he goes out of my range to avoid my plants xd xd

Many times i saw similar histories in another games, but if designers make a easy way to avoid teleportations, many people dont buy several cores to have teleportation to all books .

only my thoughs sorry.

What happens on opposing mages initiative? When he/she can double cast to pick off the Nullify with no chance to respond?

Maybe instead of preventing a teleport, it could just require you to pay extra mana to complete it.
