Title: Me vs. You. Who plays first?
Post by: lightningninja on April 03, 2009, 04:45:44 PM: So... I attack with a green prophet with Hidden Treasures, and play sword against sword. My Nergalsharezer with horses fights naaman with horses.

Who draws two and plays first, naaman or nergalsharezer?

Post by: lightningninja on April 03, 2009, 05:06:50 PM: Any reason why? And what if both characters were theirs?

Post by: STAMP on April 03, 2009, 05:10:12 PM: Gave you the short answer first.

Since you played SotL, you choose the two ECs to fight. They don't enter battle at the same time. First to enter battle is the EC you choose to control. So, Nergal enters, draws two and plays an enhancement. Then Naaman enters (if he hasn't been nuked, captured, etc.), draws two and plays an enhancement.

Tim is correct. You can choose the order of which EC enters battle first.

In your example, though, it would be complete lunacy to allow your opponent to have Naaman enter battle first. ;)

Read the REG because the situation is different if the characters come from the original battle.

Post by: lightningninja on April 03, 2009, 05:44:46 PM: Okay... So I could let naaman enter battle, play whatever he wants, then have my pale green guy enter battle with 2k horses and play wonders forgotten and end the battle and interrupt anything naaman did? That's pretty legit... :D
