[RULES] Battle Boards V1.218 - Neo Dynasty - Battle Gaiden

ZephyrPhantom
Thanks for the clarification!

mixedrandomj - Heya, welcome back!

1) Same rules, completely clean slate, how much of the 'canon' that carried over from the old one is up to ya.

2) Seems like that was an old rules text that didn't age well with the regular rule changes here. I've updated it to say "You have to spend mana multiple times if you want to purchase multiple copies of a card (max 4 per week), so choose carefully!"

3) Yes and yes. Just be clear that you're doing guest system. The way I see it the 'balance' of being a guest is that you don't get to stick to developing a consistent character and building up their sheet with Valor.

4) Collaboration: Basically if Player A and Player B decide they want to make things harder for Player C they can act as if their cards are both attacking Player C on the same board state. Player C doesn't necessarily have to treat it as such but it can be grounds for Player A and Player B to give Player C a higher rating if Player C successfully responds in a way that treated the combined attack as if it was a single board state as opposed to two separate cards.

5) So if Player A and Player B attack, and Player C feels they can handle both cards as if it was a single boardstate, they can design a card to solve that. Player A and Player B would both rate the card and C would get the sum rating as Valor/Score.

6) Tfw I meant Inspiration this entire time and no one ever caught that for 3 years, lol. Divination is a pretty bad example in this case, a "gift" should be something that in a regular game would allow you to have other players benefit as well. This is basically here to allow designers who like group-hug and political cards like Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis to make those sorts of cards without breaking their character's image.

7.1) Think of it as EDH/2HG, whichever suits the card better (relevant for uses of "team" and blocking). You post in the Board of the character you are helping and for the duration of that encounter your card targets/interacts with whichever attacker you're trying to help defend against.

7.2) Generally if someone isn't around for a week they've definitely missed the rating or are too inactive. I'll update the rules to mention that (though I am considering lowering to 4 days.)

8) Null Reincarnation's a complete reset, no achievements at all carry over to that character and every character you use from that point onward. The idea is that if you want to reset freely you don't get the benefits of committing to a character.


Hope this clears up any confusion!

Requesting permission to null reincarnate...

Just putting it here for posterity but Neo was cleared to null.

gamma3 Based on the comprehensive rules I would not consider Equip <type> distinct enough to be it's own keyword as unlike Multikicker or Partner With it doesn't modify any "core" part of how the original ability worked to make it play in a completely new way. You still have to unlock things like Legendary beforehand to print it on the card but otherwise I think Equip <type> and Fortify <type> can be treated as part of Equip and Fortify.

gamma3 -

A ) Yes.

B ) You don't need anything for Creature types, color words ("Equip blue creature" and "protection from blue" are fair game), or subtypes not locked under Spellslinger. Anything else (Card types, supertypes, etc...) require the relevant mastery. Land types are locked under their relevant color mastery.

(When you're buying a "color", you're actually buying access to color identity a la EDH. This is why protection from blue is okay b/c it lacks the mana symbol.)

fluffydeathbringer - Go for it!

ZephyrPhantom: I'd like to lodge a request for an additional achievement:

Homicidal Seclusion: Your previous character never called for aid.

This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm currently fighting off six other players simultaneously, and I'd like to get some kind of recognition for my absurd personal hard mode.

ZephyrPhantom (Welcome back )

Now that core sets are back, are they getting added to the default aid sets?

Yep, made a small update that says any core set after 2010 is fair game. And thanks!

Canon sets only. I'll add on a perk that'll allow it though within the next week or so.

ZephyrPhantom So what the heck are trophies and how do they work? I've tey are briefly mentioned in the rules and the tavern, but never actually explained in either location

They're in-character items that can be 'given' as the prize of an event. Based on the organizer's choosing they can have a small ingame effect or just be purely cosmetic.

@ cajun - Just want to let you know I've seen what you've posted and will try to respond when I can

I'm assuming that the colorless Phyrexian Mana symbol  is to specifically require  or 2 life - meaning you'd need both Tainted and One With the Void to use it, correct?  And there's nothing that could represent a cost of  or 2 life?  (Trying to figure out if I need to grab One With the Void as my next perk in order to enable Phyrexian Mana costs.)

blueseclipse mrlozano colorless phyrexian mana isn't defined, so i'd say the player defines if it stands for or or , and if it's then it requires the perk.

does anyone know how/if the Chaos abilities of planes for Planar Champion are handled? Do those just never affect BB?
