Title: Zimri, Son of Salu
Post by: SirTimothy on November 23, 2010, 10:54:56 PM
Does Zimri's interrupt Wall of Protection's ability for the duration of his special ability, or till the end of the phase
Example: Zimri bands to Gomer, I have my Wall out, can he band to one of my evil characters?

I would think that your opponent could use Gomer to band to your ECs. The interrupt does not end until the rest of the card's SA ends. Zimri's band to Gomer is not completed until after her SA completes. Additionally, any SAs on the EC banded to Gomer would still be under the umbrella of the interrupt, and so forth.

YourMathTeacher is correct.

The interrupt lasts for the rest of the phase.
Incorrect.

How is it incorrect again? Their wording confused me.

You understand "phase" but not "card?"   :-\

The interrupt only lasts until the card's SAs are completed. Reach of Desperation, for instance, says you may "Interrupt the battle, draw three cards, and play the next enhancement." Once the draw and play next are completed, the interrupt ends. In the case of Zimri, once the band and decrease are completed, the interrupt ends.

After reading it over a couple of times I understand it. I'm the brother with a Job deck that he is worried about.  :)

What is this "snow" I keep hearing about? I got sunburned yesterday working at Epcot. Today I went to Sea World in my shorts and Patriots Jersey. Thankfully I got soaked riding Journey to Atlantis to help cool me off in this almost 90 degree heat. I really need sunglasses, too. My eyes hurt.

Untrue. He just told me he had never seen my deck before. I said that I was keeping it a secret and I already had the strategy and a better defence than my other brother's deck before it came out. I'm supprised I actually combined Herods and Brown birgade.  :)

"Snow": the Minnesota state bird, fruit, plant, color, and name.
It snowed about 4 inches yesterday.
There were blizzard warnings up north.
I got all my clothes soaked.
There was 6" of snow in some places.
It was about 20 degrees yesterday.
The wind chill will be below zero today.
I won't see the ground until March if I am lucky.
YAY 4 WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's because a desert is defined not by its heat index, but by its annual precipitation. Much of the arctic is desert.
