If you draft Planeswalker, draft deck with it. If place order marker on Planeswalker, may take turn with any summon instead. Cannot cast or summon if Planeswalker dead.

Interesting restraint with Enchantments.
But two major changes were made that I disagree with. Casting only before moving: in AotP you may also cast after moving. Summoning before or after moving: in AotP, you may summon only before moving.

Well, in AOTP you can't cast until after attacking actually, but you're right, those are changes. I don't know if these were intentional or were just misunderstandings of the rules of AOTP. I would just go with the AOTP rules for those.

I don't know why they wanted to restrict enchantments. I would just ignore that.

Several people are doing different things with the game. If you look around, you'll find other threads, so you can take from each what you like, or don't like. Any one person claiming that his thread is the "official" way of doing things here in a Question Dump, such as a way of combining the two games, is really only offering you his own variant.

There's some interesting discussion earlier in the thread. I outlined a basic idea here and we dicussed it for quite a few posts afterwards.

Thank you @capsocrates for going through the trouble. I actually received the game today as a gift from my Wife. My boy and I played our first game tonight using the standard AotP rules. I'll be trying out your ideas soon with Heroscape.

Can definitely cast before attacking. Else combat sorceries would be worthless.
In MtG, precombat : combat : post combat.
In AotP, it's basically the same thing, except instead of tapping to attack, play HS. You may cast before and after, up to a total of 3 spells.

I wasn't completely clear in what I wrote, sorry. You can indeed cast before moving and after attacking. I meant to point out that you cannot cast between moving and attacking. The way I read your post you implied that you could do that.

Here's the rule from page 6:

You may play spell cards before Action 3 and after Action 4.

ah yes. Moving and attacking and activating powers (playing HS) is what all is done during the "combat phase" using Magic: the Gathering terminology.

When you place an enchantment card down on an army card, does it last the entire span of the game, unless otherwise stated or negated by another spell?

And is there a limit to how many enchantments an army card can have at any given time?
