Good list! I don't fell like looking it over to double-check it at the moment, but it looks good.

Missing:
3) Tarn Viking Beserker Charge

Also, you might want to list carry (Theracus,Brunak) twice because picking up the unit and placing occur at 2 different times in the turn.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons; for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Awesome list.

To be INCREDIBLY picky, Morsbane's Rod of Negation does not take place "After you take a turn", it takes place "at the end of the turn". Interestingly enough, this splits the time after an attack (or after choosing not to attack) into 3 timeframes:

1) After attacking
2) At the end of the turn
3) After taking a turn

Chronolgically all 3 times could exist on a card. If they made a character with Rod of Negation, Frenzy, and Toxic Skin, you could use all 3 but you'd have to use them in this order:

1) Toxic Skin
2) Rod of Negation
3) Frenzy

Talk about splitting hairs

Thanks! I knew I'd have to mop up these type of things, because I was using the card-size cards for reference instead of the official cards.

One thing I was considering was whether to include opponent's abilities that could take effect during the turn, such as counterstrike. This could be merged with this list (I'd further divide the phases and need to distinguish these abilities) or created under a separate list.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but one thing you could incoropate are things that take place during movement and during attacks.

Such as During Movement: Slither, water suit, flying, disengage, ghost walk, lava resistance.

During Attacking (but not special attacks): double attacks, deadly strike, sword of reckoning

My "g" got knocked upside down. Thanks.

I've modified the listing considerably from the original post to implement ASmiles suggestions. I'd have to agree that defensive abilities are probably best avoided.

Again, David, nicely done. I've added your list to the "Definitive List" sticky index.

Thanks for the good work!
