Yes, you can.

Sorry - I disagree. I think the answer is "No" you cannot play spells on creatures that are not summoned yet.

Per the rule book, at the start of the game your Planeswalker is placed in front of you and the army card and figures for other units are placed to the side in your Reserve.

Army cards/figures are only moved into play when Summoned (from the Reserve). With this in mind, I think of the cards in Reserve as out of the game until summoned - and therefore cannot be affected until they enter the battlefield.
It appears you are correct.

2nd this. Figures cannot be enchanted until they're on the battlefield.

M:TG analogy, You couldn't cast Unholy Strength to enchant a creature that's still in your hand.

Re: AotP Question Dump

Ok, so the consensus is no, you cannot enchant creatures in your reserve. Another sort of related question that popped up: if a squad is unsummoned, are face up and face down enchantments on that squad destroyed?

Yes, If none figure of an army card is on play anymore, all enchantments go to graveyard. Doesnt matter If all the squad was destroyed or unsummoned.

Re: AotP Question Dump

1) Do you become engaged/disengaged when you just move through a space next to an opponent during your move and don't start or finish there (hoping no)?

2) Do squads keep enchantments if their Planeswalker dies?

3) The Eldrazi Ruiner has something like +3 defense in the in box scenario for Zendikar. Thats just an ability for that one scenerio to make him tougher, yes? Saving them putting it on the card as just a higher defense because it wouldn't apply outside that scenario?

Please and thank you

1) Yes, occupying a space adjecent to an opponents figure causes the figures to become engaged. Moving from an engagement will result in a disengagement roll, even if it all happens through your normal move phase.

2) Without rereading the rules manual, I'm pretty sure yes, enchantments stay active event after a Planeswalker is destroyed. Wizards is usually pretty thorough with the wording on their cards, and if they didn't stay active, there would probably be text on the card dictating otherwise.

3) Correct, the Eldrazi Ruiner has it's card's abilities and only it's card's abilities outside the in-box scenario. Keep in mind, house rules, as long as all players agree to them, can make for a fun way to change things up

Re: AotP Question Dump

I've read through the game manuals and through several pages here. I'm not finding an answer though. Is there a cap to how many squad auras can be active on a single squad at once? I had a game Saturday night where Nissa was one shotted from full health (amazing roll) by a Blazing Firecat due to +4 attack from 3 separate auras. Firebreathing +2, power of fire +1 and sure strike +1. She rolled full swords (7) attack which ended up being 8 due to the intense strike ability. I rolled one shield.... toasty.

My memory is a bit hazy but I'm pretty sure there isn't a limit to the amount of enchantments one can place on an army card.

I have only glanced at the rules for AotP but #1 is a most assuredly a YES. That is the same through out AotP and Heroscape.

2. I thought once your Planewalker was dead you lost, your game was over?

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.

No, that's a common scenario rule but not a game rule.
