Title: Side Battles
Post by: dogeta32 on December 21, 2014, 05:35:01 PM
i someone uses sword of the Lord and brings in their King Evil- merodach and he survives does his effect stay active even after the side battle is over?

Based on my understanding of precedents, no.  Abilities without a duration last until the end of the phase, which (based on my understanding, though I have heard different interpretations) is until the end of the side battle, since each battle has its own 'battle phase'.  Therefore, it would end and not continue through the rest of the main battle, to my knowledge.

I'd want to hear confirmation before taking that as fact, though, since there has been some fluidity in this matter.

I know side battles are rarely used. I ask because if merodach effect does stay it make Authority of Christ more broken then it already is, lol. you force a side battle he survives AOC wipes out their ECs and great image wipes out their heroes. I'm asking because i can see one someone my players will try it.

Hint: use Headquarters at Riblah. ;)

Based on what I've seen and heard, Redoubter is correct.

Yeah, that's a very convoluted combo to pull of an AoCP that leaves your EC, there are plenty of forts to help you with that as Koala pointed out :)
