Playing Careless Musketeer for targeting against early game illusions (ie Aven). Blooming Ancient in a Growth build can do this later on.

I’m presuming that Careless Musketeer is able to target Spectral Aven if it comes out, but just wanted to check that its tap ability can be played against flying units @EricF @zhavier

(If not, would redo the turn if that’s OK)

4

Flying only affects actual attacks unless something specifically says “non-flier” like Rook’s Thunderclap.

5

Thanks for the clarification. So no change to the posted move.

A question about Manufactured Truth. If a unit arrives during a turn, and is then made into a copy of a unit already in play, is it correct that it can only attack or use the copied unit’s tap abilities if either it or the copied unit has haste? @EricF

9

Arrival fatigue is a property of the individual card/token, and is not copied.
At the time you attack, the attacker needs to either have started the turn under your control, or have Haste.
So, for your question: you can only attack if the copied unit has haste, or the copied-onto unit started the turn under your control.

Thanks for the clarification.

Looks like you searched my last turn’s hand rather than my current one. Feel free to check the current hand, and let me know if you want to change your turn in any way.

Also Scribe costs $2 not $1

Oops !
Edited, thanks :smile_cat:
I didn’t build Tech II and I played lvl 2 Onimaru instead :slight_smile:
Patrolling changed too

19

Yet another rules question. If Gunpoint Taxman kills a patroller in the scavenger slot, does he get to steal the $1 scavenger bonus (if opponent has no floated gold). And does this depend at all on whether or not Taxman survives when attacking? @EricF

20

yes. not depended on his survival.
