Nullify questions

[ktype2]

Question 1:

Dissolve: Choose an equipment attached to "target" mage. X= equipment's casting cost. Then, destroy the equipment.

I just wanna clarify this part. Can Nullify be used to counter Dissolve even though the primary target was the equip? I'm currently under the impression that nullify can counter anything as long as the words 'target/this' are next to the words 'creature/mage. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Question 2:

Do you flip nullify when an opponent puts a face down enchantment on a creature, or do you have to wait until they reveal it?
-If you have to wait for an enchantment to reveal itself, can nullify counter an opponent's nullify?

Please help, we really want to play this properly

Q1:
Dissolve has target: Mage in it's casting line (top of the card), so Nullify can counter Dissolve

Q2:
You counter when target is chosen - so before revealing enchantment.
Revealing enchantment is separate event from casting it (even if you decide to reveal it as soon as you cast it) - it does not follow spellcasting steps and can not be countered.

You also have to remember that a hidden enchantment still counts as an enchantment.  As soon as you are targeted by the face-down card, then you MUST use Nullify.  The reveal of Nullify is not optional.  You cannot wait until the card goes the the reveal as the enchantment is already attached at that point and isn't "targeting" anymore.

[Rumsey]

Nullify can counter the hidden attachment of another Nullify card and must do so even though you actually have no idea what the attaching card is.  It doesn't matter if the attaching card is a face-down "Decoy."  You must reveal Nullify.

A little clarification - what you have to do is to reveal Nullify - than you may decide not to pay it reveal cost and just destroy it without effect, if you wish to. You do not have to counter any spell with Nullify.

May I exchange my gold stars for upcomming expansion? Or maybe some peid full-time job to have money to buy it by myself?

Also correct and another Gold Star. Sorry but they are like Fairy Dust and worth about as much as lint. It is the thought that counts.  :lol:

[strike]On a side note when you cast Dissolve you only target the mage you never target the equip. Choose an equip that is attached to target mage, this is important because you should not tell the other player what you are going to Dissolve until after it has started to resolve. That being said if they only have 1 equip it is a pretty easy guess.[/strike]

[strike]So if you only tell the other person what equipment is being targeted, you still have to pay the mana cost of what you want to target at the beginning, which should narrow it down a lot as to what you are targeting. I have a question with how Dissolve works in combination with Reverse Magic. [/strike]

I have one piece of equipment, Mage Wand, and a hidden Reverse Magic on me.

My opponent casts Dissolve. He pays 5 mana but doesn't tell me what he wants to destroy.

During the counter spell step, I reveal Reverse Magic and take control of dissolve.

I now resolve the spell and destroy one of his equipments worth 5 mana or less, or can I up the mana cost to destroy that damn Hellfire Lash?

[Shad0w]

The cost is locked on casting. Reverse Magic after cast put before resolution. I believe it is during the counter step but do not have cards on me since I am at work. So at that point the cost is locked.

With Rev magic it will let you change even the locked costs. (TY Arcanus for the heads up)

 I hope that helps.

I think Shad0w is wrong about targeting equipment. The wording is:
"When you cast Dissolve, chose an equipment (...)"
So chosing equipment happens during first step of casting spell - before counterspell.

For your Reverse Magic spell question - I have no idea. Wording suggests that if there is no legal target, the spell is countered and legal target would be a Mage with equipment with exacly the same cost, as has been paid.

[Shad0w]

I do not have the stuff on me as you know so I may be wrong I can only go by the wording I am given while I am at work. If I am if wrong I strike my post and reword it to the correct wording. This does not happen very often but hey we are mostly all humane. :lol:

Gewar you are correct this is why I always ask for the full wording good catch and TY :cheer:

"When you cast Dissolve, chose an equipment (...)"
So choosing equipment happens during first step of casting spell - before counterspell.

This would be on cast before the counter step

On a side note it has been a very long day and I still have like an hour left.

No problem - I know many people with flaws, I am aware they exist

But I am still not sure about Reverse Magic on Dissolve rules.

[Shad0w]

Ty for responding it is going to be a very long day. a few hours done 7 more to go.

Reverse Magic:
When this cresture is targeted by an incantation ot enchantment spell controlled by an opponent, you must reveal Reverse Magic during the Counter Spell Step. You take control of that spell. Redirect it back to the caster, who now becomes the target of the spell. If the spell cannot target the caster, it is countered. Then destroy Reverse Magic.

Dissolve:
(target: Mage)
When you cast Dissolve, choose an equipment object attached to target Mage. X = equipment's casting cost. Then, destroy the chosen equipment.

[Arcanus]

When Reverse Magic is revealed, you take control of that spell.  Although the Cast Spell Step is over, you are allowed to adjust the spell's choices and pay additonal mana costs if any.

With Dissolve, you take control of the spell.  It now targets the original casting Mage, and you can now choose a new piece of equipment for Dissolve on that Mage.  If that piece of equipment costs more than the cost has already been paid for Dissolve, you must pay the difference.  If it costs less, you do not get any mana refunded.

Same thing with Reverse Magic on Force Push.  If the original caster did not pay the extra mana to push through a wall, but you want to push him through a wall, you can pay the extra mana to do so.  If the opposite is true, you do not get a mana refund for choosing to not push him through a wall.

As much as possible, we want things in Mage Wars to work the way you think they should work.

We're sorry that this text does not appear on the Reverse Magic card.  The card was already a little text heavy!  You will see this text in our coming Spell/Rules FAQ, and also in our online card database  (coming very soon!).

Sorry for the confusion, and hope this helps.

Ty for letting us know about the full rules on rev mag and I will fix my posts accordingly.
