And sure let’s switch colors, your turn to go first.
I’m not saying Blue shoud be buffed more. I’m just reacting to your concern about BI and Blue being buffed in general. If Blue was the only color saw these improvements, then it’s definitely worrisome but with the respect to overall changes, it seems pretty neautral in the spectrum.
Time Spiral and Tinkerer (and Seer) did target anything before, didn’t have to be things with time runes, so they were indeed very effective illusion countermeasures.
I do think Sentry’s buff is bigger than it looks, and the Prynn buff is real, but otherwise I really don’t think Purple got much in the way of buffs. But maybe I have a bad read on it.
I’ll probably start a new game monday!
I’m confused how Time Spiral and Tinkerer targeted before. Codex Card Database says they don’t?
Huh. Maybe I’m mistaken, I could’ve sworn they targeted…
Neither does Seer. I’ve always thought this way.
You’re totally right; I’m not sure why I thought they targeted! I was certain of it too lol…
Also I totally forgot yesterday was monday; Labor Day feels so much like a sunday. Game starting now, GL HF @bansa!

Didn’t think you can MT units with forecast. Oh well…
If you wanna change your turn, I’m cool with that
I think I should otherwise it’s prolly a game over for me
Another question, if I put a time rune on a already arrived forecast unit, does it go to forecast again?
1 Like
Oh that’s a super interesting question… I had never thought about intentionally future-ing something… Check / ask in the rules thread I spose? My inkling is to say no based on the wording of forecast:
Starts off in the future, not in play. Put X time runes on this and remove one each upkeep. When you remove the last, it arrives.
That’s worded in a pretty one-way fashion, and there’s nothing extra on the ruling site that seems to imply anything to the contrary. I’d expect something more like “While this has any time runes on it, it is considered in the ‘future zone’ and not ‘in play’”, or something. The “when you remove the last rune, it arrives” has a finality to it.
That said, it’s not totally clear either and I’d be open to a convincing argument to the contrary.
