The complete rules for Codex FFA can be found here: Dropbox - Codex rulebooks - Simplify your life
Here are some quick rules clarifications on common points of confusion:
-
Codex FFA does not have elimination - it has only one winner. When the first base is destroyed the player with the highest base health wins, and if there are any ties then the tied players each take turns until the tie is broken.
-
Lent patrollers are locked in at the same time your own patrollers are locked in. The player to whom you lent the patroller is considered to control the unit while it is patrolling for them. They are returned to their owner at the upkeep phase of the player the unit is lent to.
-
The ruling on what is considered as a “kill” for the purposes of getting bounties is as follows:
[details=In more detail][quote=“EricF, post:95, topic:1698”]
You are considered to “kill” an opposing unit only under these conditions:1. You deal damage to it equal to its remaining hit points with a spell or ability2. Your spell or ability says to “destroy” the unit3. You attack, and the unit dies from combat damage (regular damage or -1/-1 runes)
You are not considered to “kill” things if:1. You use a spell or ability to place -1/-1 runes on a unit2. You force a unit to be sacrificed, trashed, or returned to hand (even if a token)3. You remove something from play that was granting a HP buff, and units die because they lost that buff4. You give a unit -1/-15. You remove the last time rune from something with Fading
