When you play Swift Horses and then Arrogance, it's basically like saying "Interrupt the battle and play as many enhancements as you choose," right? If so, I would think that if one of those enhancements removed TSA from the battle, his negate ability would never kick back in.
Why can't you interrupt it? Its an ongoing ability without a cannot be interrupted clause, according to that logic you can't negate King of Tyrus's ability with the Might of Faith
Arrogance is not Warrior-Class so it is being prevented by TSA.
So why do I get to play the next without negation with Swift Horses, but its negated with Arrogance?
Correct, unless any of the enhancements "Cannot be Negated/Interrupted," in which case they would stick. According to the REG, "Negate All" abilities remain in effect even if the character is removed.
I'm just proud to see TKP all growed up and pwning trollz :tear:
If my character dies, because of Belshazzar's Banquet, all of my enhancements would be negated at that point?
Except that you're interrupting the "Negate All" and THEN removing the character (assuming you play an enhancement after Arrogance that kills TSA).
Quote from: MichaelHue on December 22, 2008, 02:50:25 PMExcept that you're interrupting the "Negate All" and THEN removing the character (assuming you play an enhancement after Arrogance that kills TSA). I was going by the REG example with banding in a "Negate All" character. i.e. TSA is banded into battle by Jacob. TSA negates the band, so he goes back and now the battle is "Negate All" with Jacob. Would that not be the case here?
I'm OK with being wrong, I just want to be sure. Regarding Belshazzar's Banquet, the ECs are removed, but do the enhancements get discarded immediately? The REG says this under Battle Resolution:All enhancements played during the Battle Phase (except set-aside or weapon-class enhancements, or cards such as Thorn in the Flesh placed on other cards during battle) are discarded to the owner’s discard pile. I may be nitpicking the REG incorrectly again, but if enhancements are discarded during Battle Resolution, then Belshazzar's Banquet is still eligible to be negated if TSA is still in battle after the interrupt ends.
What if I have a crimson EC who plays a crimson enhancement, then is somehow removed from battle by SA. If I have Unknown Nation active and bring in a new crimson character, they don't get to use the previous enhancement's numbers?I guess I have always understood that the enhancements that cannot be used linger, but have no effect, just in case a character that can use them somehow enters battle.
Can we get some confirmation on this ruling? There seems to be a lot of uncertainty, for me especially.1. Once a "Negate All" SA is activated, can it be interrupted?2. If "Negate All" is interrupted and the character removed from battle, does the "Negate All" still remain in effect for the battle after the interrupt ends?3. If a character is removed from battle, are all enhancements removed immediately as well, or are they discarded during Battle Resolution?These questions need to be answered in order to properly rule this scenario (and its derivatives).
#6 - You Can't Interrupt a Prevent if Your Interrupt is Prevented
If a "negate all" ability is interrupted successfully and the character removed from battle during the interrupt, the "negate all" ability does not remain in effect. This is the same as interrupting Freedom! with Achan's Sin.
I'm not entirely sure about your third question, but I'd like to ask if anyone can confirm if all evil enhancements played via Dream/Swift Horses > Arrogance fall under the "umbrella" of the initial interrupt.

This type of card contains instructions allowing you to continue playing one or more enhancement cards.
So, the REG ruling that a "Negate All" remains in effect even if the character is removed is only an exception to prevent the "infinite loop" (as ChristianSoldier said earlier) and not intended to be used in any other circumstance?
Enhancements need to be activated on something. Character SAs are different. Once the character enters battle, the SA activates and remains in effect.
I think you're reading to much into that statement. Where in the REG do you find it? What is the context of the statement?
I'm not clear on how character SA's are different. If I interrupt and discard an Enhancement, that also is equivalent to a negate. It's not just when I interrupt the Enhancement and discard the character under it. So if I interrupt a character's ability and then discard him, how would that not have the same effect?
I was referring to the banding of a "Negate All" character into battle (I mentioned in an earlier post). The "Negate All" character negates the band and goes back from wherever he came and the battle is now "Negate All" with the original character.
I think you're reading to much into that statement.
to Gabe and Schaef.I was just looking at Arrogance last night, and hadn't weighed in on this thread yet.
After looking at it and reading the thread, I agree that Arrogance's SA isn't finished until you have finished playing cards.
I wouldn't have posted in error if the information I consulted wasn't misleading.
