Title: Negate all LS questions
Post by: The M on November 29, 2010, 07:50:08 PM
What happens if you draw 2 of them and lay them down at the exact same time?
Would they cancel out or would you say that the "first one" would negate the other?

Also, I'm a bit fuzzy about if the Hopper would be negated by the Negate all.
Would Hopper's ability:
(A) Work and go to opponent's territory.
(B) Be negated and go to your territory.
(C) Work, go to opponent's territory, become negated, and come back to your territory.

HELP! :)

1. If they're both drawn at the same time, if it was the first draw of the game, the player's going first takes precedence. If they were both drawn by the same draw ability, whichever player's who played the card causing the draw takes precedence.

2. B

Source for answer 1? ;)


I agree though, that's logical and should be the rule.

1) Everything would be negated. You'd have to get both rescued to not have them negated

2) If you drew the hopper on the same phase, it would hop over but in a different phase it wouldn't

2. B
This is incorrect, as that would mean the negater LS was targeting out-of-play cards. I think the answer is C, it hops but is negated so the end result is it goes to your territory like a normal LS.

The SA must activate to hop, so it has to go into play first. Although that makes me wonder what "when drawn" means.

What if they are both drawn by you at the same time?

Then you chose. I can't think of a single situation in which it would matter, though.

Would you choose at the time they enter play or at the time their ability would take effect?

Sometimes there's not an answer to a question because it's a bad question. Oftentimes people will try to be clever and ask questions about hypothetical situations that could occur due to make-believe cards. Seasoned players typically know not to answer these questions because they're irrelevant. There are enough ruling gaps on things that do matter to be splitting hairs about questions that literally do not matter.

Scenario: You play Mayhem in your prep phase, and you draw 2x FBTN LSs. You put one in a site (assume opponent doesn't have access). Do you have to choose which one wins when you draw it or when it activates? It makes a difference, as if it is when drawn you have to guess if you want to have it active (put that one in a site) or you want it gone (keep it out of a site so opponent can rescue). Whereas if you decide when the negation kicks in, you'll have an opportunity to play something like U+T to help you decide.


Now, this scenario is far less likely (who plays with Mayhem?) and important than many fake scenarios I've thought of, but I digress....
Title: Re: Negate all LS questions
Post by: Minister Polarius on December 02, 2010, 04:56:11 AM
Doesn't matter. If one is negated, the other will kick in. If one is removed from play, it will keep working until the end of phase when the other kicks right back in.
Title: Re: Negate all LS questions
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on December 02, 2010, 07:13:09 AM
Is there a single target LS negate anyway? They're all negate all, so anything negating one negate LS is a negating both negate LS.

Post by: browarod on December 02, 2010, 01:05:42 PM
Wouldn't the second negate LS "miss the timing" if the first and active one is removed from play after the phase in which they both enter play? The ability says something like "beginning the phase after this is put in play" so if it's negated beyond that, what game rule makes it suddenly activate and start working when the other one leaves play?

LS's refresh every phase.
Title: Re: Negate all LS questions
Post by: browarod on December 02, 2010, 11:27:15 PM
LS's refresh every phase.
By that logic, wouldn't there then be a phase in between where they're not negated? The removed from play one still negates til end of phase, then the second would trigger and wait til the third phase.

LS's refresh every phase.
Can I get a source for that?
Title: Re: Negate all LS questions
Post by: Minister Polarius on December 03, 2010, 04:09:34 AM
Logic. FbtN LS gets rescued, next phase do LS's work? Obviously yes, so backward extrapolation dictates that LS's refresh every phase.

No, there wouldn't be a phase in between, because every phase other than the one the card is drawn in is after "starting next phase" even if the SA is prevented at first.

Isn't there an AW enhancement that says "place on a soul to negate the ability" or something like that? If so, it matters.

I'm still trying to think of any situation where it would matter which FBTN LS is active. Anyone care to provide one?

A far more likely one, you draw both Negate-alls in 1 draw phase in T2.
Title: Re: Negate all LS questions
Post by: RTSmaniac on December 03, 2010, 09:15:28 PM
when you have multiple triggers trying to activate at the same time you choose what order the triggers activate in.

next phase:
1. ls trigger
2. ls trigger
1. ls activate
2. ls negated

Luke 19_10 (Di)
Type: Lost Soul • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Beginning in the phase after this card is put in play, negate all special abilities on Lost Soul cards (except this one). • Identifiers: None • Verse: Luke 19:10 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

In the case of a Mayhem play, and both players draw thier FBTN LS the active player chooses what order the triggers activate. Im not sure who the active player would be in this game. Either the player who took the last action or whose turn it is...

Exhibit A: An answer that I understand and I see reasoning.

when you have multiple triggers trying to activate at the same time you choose what order the triggers activate in.

next phase:
1. ls trigger
2. ls trigger
1. ls activate
2. ls negated

In the case of a Mayhem play, and both players draw thier FBTN LS the active player chooses what order the triggers activate. Im not sure who the active player would be in this game. Either the player who took the last action or whose turn it is...

Exhibit B: An answer possibly, but with no reason to justify it, I disregard it.

Here's what happens when there are two FBTN LS's drawn at any point in the game: If they are drawn in the same phase, and they activate on the following phase, you choose the order of activation, sure. But I don't see it really mattering at all: as soon as one of them leaves play (or is negated by Ears to Hear, lol), the other is no longer negated, and then starts negating all other LS's. Just like you can play Son of God on the shuffler immediately after burying the Thorns LS, Lost Souls SA's are only active for as long as they are in play and not negated (with the exception of anti-burial, which is just weird). So like I have said, and Polarius has said, I don't think it will ever matter which activates first, and there is no time in between one leaving play/being negated and another negating all LSs.

I don't see anything broken, inconsistent, or logically troubling with that, so unless someone besides Rawrlolsauce! ( ;)) can demonstrate otherwise, I will rule it that way.

what i dont understand is why a ruling would change from one to another just based on if it was "broken" or not. fun and fellowship of the game? pretty soon wouldnt it seem inevitable that these changes in rulings would indirectly affect other rulings as well?

It wouldn't, but if a ruling isn't set in stone/obvious already, then broken situations are considered as part of the formula for deciding upon the ruling. If a ruling could go either way based on precedent/logic, then it will probably lean toward the side of avoiding brokenness if possible.

chamber of angels + i am holy is coming back to haunt you... wooooooo...

That ruling was not changed because it was broken, in fact, according to Rob, it was never changed at all. Someone thought it worked a long time ago, and it was never questioned until "instead" abilities came in vogue and needed to be more clearly defined. The ruling was really an effect of "instead" being defined, and had nothing to do with supposed brokenness of the combo.

Nooooooooooo....
Did I say it would haunt you?
Yup.
Am I saying I like or dislike the ruling?
Noooooooooooo....
Am I saying it will affect a lot of controversial rulings in the future until we can get more playtesters?
Yup.

That's my opinion on the matter.
