Right. If you control it, only your opponents' creatures could roll leaving engagement attacks against it. And those are optional.

With Jace's it does word it 'You control that planeswalker'

With Mind Control it's worded 'You may move and attack with Target Squad Creature an opponent controls'
I believe with Mind Control at least they would have to disengage from MY units.

With Jace's ability you may be correct

[Confred]

The disengagement issue came up with Marcu.
Since you control it for that moment, your figures cannot attack it with leaving engagement attacks and leaving engagement attacks are voluntary so the original controller now enemy may choose not to attack also

I may have posted this in the wrong place - I can't see how to delete it from the Official Rules and Faq section.
It probably should be posted here.

It looks like they developed the spell cards before they decided that instead of having each player have a "round" per game turn, they would have each player end a game turn and advance the Turn marker.

or some similar mess up in development.

This is why the Spells with end of turn conditions often don't make sense e.g. Inspired Charge , the defence bonus is useless. However if the same spells last until the begining of your next turn and are then discarded to the graveyard they all seem to work.

So I propose on spell cards the End of Turn condition ,means they last from when played or revealed(hidden enchantments) to the start of your next turn.

The first action of each Turn should be to discard to your graveyard any spells that last until the end of your turn.

Hopefully someone can take this up with the designer.

Is there anything in the rulebook I may have missed that addresses this?

Each figure is a unique sculpt so you could put them on their outline figure.

Serioulsy though , put them on the figures base.

You're supposed to put the wound markers on the figure's base.

This may be the perfect opportunity for me to use some of my 5mm D6s I got at dragon con a couple years ago! It was $3 for 175 of them.

Great deal that was

I'm thinking since we're already putting wound markers, would there be room for +1/+1 counters?

Questions on two green spell cards:

Titanic Growth:

• If I am more than 6 spaces away from of the Planswalker away and I play the card before move, and then move to within 6 spaces of the Planswalker, do I get the bonus?
• If I am within 6 spaces away of the Planswalker and I play the card before move, and then move to more than 6 spaces away from the Planswalker, do I get the bonus?

I am assuming the second question is true because of the "until end of turn" but there is nothing in the wording that says one way or the other when it triggers. If no on the first, it would have been nice if the card said "Before moving..." or "After selecting a creature..."

Leaf Arrow:

• Enchanted Planeswalker gets +1 attack as long as it is unengaged.
• Before enchanted Planeswalker attacks, you may destroy Leaf Arrow. If you do, Enchanted Planeswalker gets +2 attack until end of turn.

If I am unengaged and I choose to destroy Leaf Arrow, do I get +2 or +3. I.E. do the powers stack or is it just one or the other?
If I am engaged, can I still destroy and get the +2 attack?

[Cavalier]

My Takes:
•Leaf Arrow
You can enchant your PW with Leaf Arrow and receive an ongoing +1 to ranged attacks.

On any turn after your PW has been enchanted with Leaf Arrow, you may choose to "destroy" (discard) it and gain a 1 time +2 attack.

The powers are separate and do not stack.

•Titanic Growth
I interpret it as:

1. When the caster casts the figure has to be within 6 CSS
and
2. when the figure is attacking, it has to be within 6 CSS of the caster

So I would think both criteria have to be met.

[lefton4ya]

Ok, I see how Leaf Arrow works, thanks Cav and the others who responed a few posts back to gamjuven (didn't see his question earlier). The "Before enchanted Planeswalker attacks, you may destroy Leaf Arrow. If you do..." means since you destroyed the enchantment, you no longer get the first part, but that also means you get the second part regardless of the contingency on the enhancement. I guess you magic players have the element of experience in those cards.

I still don't necessarily agree on @Cavalier interpretation of Titanic Growth, especially on the second part of "when the figure is attacking, it has to be within 6 CSS of the caster" as the card specifically says "until end of turn" but I would like some more opinions. Maybe i or someone can ask Hasbro.

Also noticed Inspired Charge basically has the same question.

[quozl]

Yep, I think it just needs to be within 6 spaces when the spell is cast.
