I agree with Sword then Discs then Defense in this case.

A few edits to Stepping Discs:

- Putting the placement and combat die rolling together.
- Specifying the number of blanks rolled that trigger each, just because it's a little clearer
- Not sure if the opponent places her up to or exactly X spaces away?
- Filled out "away" to "away from her original position," per Blink.
- Slightly changed the LEA language at the end.

Also some slight rewording to Soul Sword (cut an extra "figure" in the first sentence, changed the last sentence to focus on the figure defending).

STEPPING DISCS 3
Instead of moving normally, you may place Magik on any empty space within 3 spaces of her current position and roll 10 combat dice. If you roll 3 or fewer blanks, place Magik on an empty space exactly X spaces away from her original placement, where X is the number of blanks rolled. If you roll 4 or more blanks, choose an opponent. That opponent may place Magik (up to/exactly) X spaces away from her original placement, where X is the number of blanks rolled. Magik never takes leaving engagement attacks when moving with Stepping Discs.

SOUL SWORD
When attacking an adjacent figure with Magik's normal attack, add one automatic skull to whatever is rolled, or two automatic skulls if the defending figure is an Angel, Demon, or Undead. Opponent’s figures cannot use the Magical Defense or Temporal Defense powers when defending against Magik's adjacent normal attack.

Old Wording:

Spoiler Alert!

STEPPING DISCS 3
Instead of moving normally, you may place Magik on any empty space within 3 spaces of her current position. After moving her in this way, roll 10 combat dice. If X is 3 or less, place Magik on an empty space exactly X spaces away where X is the number of blanks rolled. If X is 4 or greater, your opponent may place Magik X spaces away where X is the number of blanks rolled. When Magik starts to Teleport, she will not take any leaving engagement attacks

Thanks Johnny, this is a good reword. It's gonna be hard to cram this all on the card. As for Stepping Discs it should be "placed exactly X spaces away".

I can rotate the powers around, that's an easy fix.

Cool. Have we gotten 5 votes here or do we still need one?

[Ronin]

One minor wording thing: "Opponent's" in Soul Sword should be "Opponents'"

edited good catch, thank you

[johnny139]

Yea from me as well to take things home.

[Dr. Jekyll]

Great, that's 5!!

The discs need to be either first or last. Generally they would go first. See Nightcrawler for precedent. Also Stepping discs is an absolute mess.

Right now you start by placing her 3 spaces and then rolling dice and then placing from the original spot again....give me a bit.

[Karat]

Also not a huge Fan of tiring the rolling into the original movement. Seems odd and makes the second teleport mandatory which I'm pretty sure isn't the intent or how it was played.

Edits.

SOUL SWORD
When attacking an adjacent figure with Magik's normal attack, add one automatic skull to whatever is rolled,: or two automatic skulls if the defending figure is an Angel, Demon, or Undead. Opponents' figures cannot use the Magical Defense or Temporal Defense special powers when defending against Magik's adjacent normal attack.

STEPPING DISCS 3
Instead of moving normally, you may place Magik on any empty space within 3 spaces of her current position and roll 10 combat dice. If you roll 3 or fewer blanks, place Magik on an empty space exactly X spaces away from her originalcurrent placement, where X is the number of blanks rolled. If you roll 4 or more blanks, choose an opponent. That opponent may place Magik exactly X spaces away from her originalcurrent placement, where X is the number of blanks rolled. Magik never takes leaving engagement attacks when moving with Stepping Discs.

For pasteability:

I'm away from my computer right now. We could probably word it from her "current location" not "original"

Edit- seconds too late lol
