Title: ignoring
Post by: xCaLeBx on August 10, 2009, 04:30:29 PM

If I'm ignoring a EC and they play a card to become immune to me would I still get a lost soul?

If he is ignoring an EC and I interrupt the battle and play balaams disobedience to be immune...is there a soul rescued?

I don't remember for sure, but that doesn't seem right.  If I'm ignoring you, you can't harm me.  However, is become immune harming?  Immune basically equals infinite defense.  I don't see how that is harming.

Ignore is a special ability that protects a card from being defeated, harmed, or affected by the ignored card. It also prevents the card with ignore from harming or affecting the ignored card. An ignore card stops an ignored character from entering the Field of Battle. An ignore ability can be a successful blocking or rescuing card. Ignore is the same as “has no effect” and repel.

No, the ignore ability is interrupted and you cannot ignore a character already immune.



I know you can't ignore a character already immune, but I'm not sure about becoming immune to a character already ignoring.

An interrupt of an ignore allows the immunity to go in first. You can play an ignore after an immunity, so the result is a stalemate where neither character can harm the other.

If an ignore is in battle first (and not interrupted), you can't play an immunity card against it.

This is a classic "rock vs rock". The interrupt is what allowed it to happen. It essentially reversed the order of the "rock" abilities played.

Becoming immune to a character ignoring you does nothing to help you.
Interrupting the ignore and THEN becoming immune is great for you, because then they cannot ignore you to remove you from blocking, as you are immune. (However, neither can you harm them as they are ignoring, so it is a stalemate.)

that is what I thought. It turned out to not make a difference but thanks for the ruling!
