AotP Question Dump

My thought when I read the text was that since it doesn't specify a timing, that the default should be to move and attack during the normal move and attack phases of the turn along with whatever unit you activate. If it said immediately then your interpretation would of course be correct. I can see both interpretations being correct so is going to need a faq.

Compare to 'Malevolent Whispers'

'You may move and attack with target squad creature an opponent controls that is within 2 clear sight spaces of a red Planeswalker you control. That creature gets +1(ATK) until end of Turn'

It does not have the immediately phrasing, but you would be given the opportunity (MAY!) to move and attack after the resolution of the spell, and that figure would get +1(ATK) until EOT regardless of if you choose to move and attack.

You do not do this during the normal 'chosen figure's turn Move->Attack' or else there would be no point to playing this post-combat. It does not say 'during the chosen army's card turn move and attack'

___

Another MTG example of the distinction here:
Bloodbraid Elf
3/2
Haste
Cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)

vs


Abbot of Keral Keep
2/1
Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
When Abbot of Keral Keep enters the battlefield, exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card.

___

The bloodbraid elf is more akin to the your question with 'Ever After'
The way the exiled card is worded you must cast it RIGHT THEN or you lose your opportunity.

The abbot is more Akin to the way you were thinking of. It basically queues it up and you can use that ability until the end of the turn. Ever After does not say 'until the end of the turn you may move and attack'

The 'move and attack' is part of the resolution of the spell itself.

I'm convinced. But I agree it would be better if it used the word immediately as in other cards.

[vegietarian18]

I believe it's similar to Seize the Day which is immediate. But I don't have official backing for that

For Nahiri's Pass Through Stone, that is a Move and not a Teleport correct?
I assume it is since it says move instead of place.
Also you do take LEAs while using PTS correct?

For the Bloodline Nobles and their power that is based off of their Attack. That is total combined Attack from spells, high ground ect. correct?

[TREX]

@Tornado, I believe you are correct about the bloodline nobles. As it does not specify the value on their card making the assumption that it is their whole attack including height advantage.


The Nahiri thing says move, and if it does not specify, I do think it means that she will take a LEA.

I'm working on my own FAQ, which will include various questions of mine, those here, on the FAQ thread including some for which answers were received from Hasbro, and eventually from those on bgg. Whew! Answers on the "Book of threads" will still supplement my own list.

So it has a 'movement of 4'?

The wording is different than most other powers. It says '...you may move her to a space of equal terrain elevation within 4 spaces of her.'

This reads more like a teleport power and it is called Pass Through Stone so it makes me think she can go through Ruins, figures ect.

This has been strongly debated. I just wish they would have said 'place' if it is a teleport or said 'move up to 4 spaces' is it is a move.

The current wording is wishy-washy and in between.

[The B.I.V.]

Sounds similar to Granite Guardians' Gain High Ground:

"After taking a turn with Granite Guardians, you may move each Granite Guardian you control up to one space. This space may be up to 4 levels higher."

I agree that the wording is weird, but I'd hafta agree with Trex, that it's a move, and therefore, she takes the LEA.

I think of it more like an Earth Elemental's UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT. She phases underground and then when she pops up - if she rolls high enough - she erupts out of the ground injuring adjacent figures. I don't know her Bio/story to know if that's what happens.

http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ad.php?t=29625

But like most folks are saying here, if it was 'Scape they would clarify whether an engagement strike happens or not. Since it is AotP - if it does say she doesn't take them, then she is vulnerable to LEA.

Wondering though if she is already engaged and just Passes through Stone to an adjacent space - can she roll to damage her target and since she didn't leave engagement not have a LEA?

Probably should be considered like Flying where if she uses the power when she's engaged, she will take LEA.

[Tornado]

There is no debate over LEA, the debate is if it is a 'move' based on the Move # of the figure or is it a 'place' with no distance restriction.

It is not like the GG because of the wording.

See the Book of for more.

EDIT: Now that last point is certainly still debate-able but I would have to say no LEAs if you end the 'move' adjacent to the same figures as it does not explicitly state you take an LEA as soon as you 'move'.
Do what the card says not what it does not.
That would be one that I could see going either way and being house ruled either way.

[Confred]

Any movement/ space placement change of a figure is affected by LEAs, unless specifically mentioned otherwise.
