Title: Michael vs Somebody
Post by: SoulSaver on November 07, 2008, 12:11:15 PM: OK who plays first enhancement in this battle?

Micheal with Angel's Sword vs Somebody with Swift Horses

I'm almost 100% sure Micheal does, but I'm not clear on the why.

Post by: Gabe on November 07, 2008, 12:21:46 PM: Michael does. Swift Horses cannot interrupt Angel's Sword ability to play first when it's on Michael.

That's not quite right, Arianna gets to play first, but then 2khorses interrupts the previous enhancement played by Arianna and plays next.

Post by: Gabe on November 07, 2008, 03:21:38 PM: I would have to side with Lambo on this one. :)

Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on November 07, 2008, 03:21:59 PM: No... I think lambo is right because Angel's sword is ongoing (Trigger) and ITB inturupts ongoing.

That makes sense.

Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on November 07, 2008, 05:31:00 PM: so what would happen in this situation?

Big banding chain of angels, ended with Arriana + Angels sword... vs one EC with 2kh.

2kh would interrupt and let the EC play next, but since the first enhancement has already been played, would the EC get to play another enh provided he was loosing by the numbers?

Post by: The Schaef on November 07, 2008, 05:37:54 PM: The sword will kick back in after the 2KHorse play, and give init to Arianna et al.

Post by: Lamborghini_diablo on November 07, 2008, 07:07:56 PM: How does that work though? Angels sword says it gives them initiative to play the FIRST enhancement. One has already been played this battle, and AS doesnt say "you may play the first or second enhancement"

I would assume first means first.

I was thinking about adding Eli to my angel deck in case Michael bites the dust early in the game, for this reason.

Silly Egyptian...everyone knows that Angel Wars commons are completely useless... ::)

Post by: RedemptionAggie on November 12, 2008, 04:55:18 AM: I think "first enhancement" is equivalent to "next enhancement", sort of like "second character" is equivalent to "additional character" on banding cards.

Hm I'd argue that but to my knowledge 1st = 1st.
