The Book of the Mind Flayer Mastermind
The Book of the Mind Flayer Mastermind (If you cannot view the army card image, follow this link to the Heroscapers Gallery)Warriors of Eberron - Collection D2 (12) - "Veterans of the Last War" Character Bio (From truth): Ah, the Illithid. It was only a matter of time before they made their way into Heroscape! The Mind Flayer Mastermind comes as a new addition to Utgar’s horde that can take control of other players's Heroes. Not only that, but their Psionic Blast can remove order markers from defending figures! -Rulings and Clarifications- Q. How the heck do "Uncommon Heroes" work? Is there a limit on how many I may draft into my army? Do I need a card for each one in my army? How do I tell each Feral Troll apart from the others? A. Quote:
A. Short answer: No. You have only gained temporary control of the figure, when it dies, your turn is immediately over and you must give it back to the person you Enslaved it from. (Nice try though ) -Combinations and Synergies- Synergy Benefits Received: Ornak: Red Flag of FurySynergy Benefits Offered: C3V and SoV Custom Synergies

Re: The Book of the Mind Flayer Mastermind
Mean bugger, can paralyze a low defense squad by knocking off order markers. Ranged Enslave in addition to that attack lets them swing twice, one of them usually works. When he gets BOTH off at once though you get to really see them at work!
Quick clarification question, if he enslaves say Kee-Mo-Shi and you use him to Mind Shackle an opponents figure, do you still gain control of said figure? Second clarification! If I Enslave Iskra and manage to summon the Wretches while she is still under my control, do I control the Wretches or does my opponent? |

You don't control the Retchets, only Iskra. So, no, you cannot summon them (and consequently take a turn with them) if you don't control them. |

Granted, that's one of the least likely scenarios imaginable. I could see it happening as a result of some cutthroat denial drafting, I guess. |

Re: The Book of the Mind Flayer Mastermind
However, if you do denial draft, you could draft the mastermind purposefully to take advantage of the Retchets....

Re: The Book of the Mind Flayer Mastermind
That scenario is pretty unlikely, however. First you'd have to get your mastermind safely within four sight spaces of Iskra, then successfully roll a 17 or higher, then successfully summon the Rechets. That's only a 7% chance, not something I'd count on as a strategy or a reason to counterdraft the Rechets.

Re: The Book of the Mind Flayer Mastermind
It occurs to me that one nice effect of having a MFM in your army is that it forces your opponent to at least consider placing the "X" OM defensively as a potential Psionic Blast Victim instead of strategically as an attempt to mislead.

Re: The Book of the Mind Flayer Mastermind
Uhh, I was just re-reading over the Enslave power and it says ANY unique Hero figure. Nothing about it being an opponents unique hero figure. Does that mean I can use Enslave on my own unique heroes to take a turn with them? Gives him a little extra kick if that's the case, and with the wording I don't see why not.
