This implies, to me, that they are looking to centralize AotP answers and do them right (even if a bit slow, initially).
One can only hope. Maybe they are stalling to wait until after Pax Prime when the expansion news is released.

Re: AotP Question Dump

I would say no to casting spells between the segments of a power.
Plenty of powers would work without the use of the word "immediately". This word isn't wasted space on those powers, it really means immediately.
I feel the same about Haste.

Re: AotP Question Dump

Here we go, official ruling. Looks like you guys were correct:

Hi Brad,

Thank you for your patience while I researched your questions for you. Please see the answers below:

Can you summon the Blazing Firecats, play an enchantment on them, and then resolve your haste attack with one of the firecats?

When you summon Blazing Firecats you must immediately attack with one of the Firecats if you want to. You cannot summon the Firecats, then play spells, and then attack with using the haste ability.


I hope this helps! Please contact us back if we can be of further assistance.

Re: AotP Question Dump

I have a question regarding Leaf Arrow, the green enchantment. It says "enchanted planeswalker gets +1 power as long as it is unengaged. Before enchanted Planeswalker attacks, you may destroy leaf arrow. If you do, enchanted Planeswalker gets +2 power until end of turn"

A rule-lawyer friend of mine interpreted it this way: You can enchant a planeswalker to give him +1 power as long as he is unengaged. However, if you discard it, the planeswalker gets a flat +2 power and the engagement thing is not necessary. I hadn't thought about that before but the card is ambiguous.

Thoughts?

I would have to agree with your friend. This is how Magic usually works. My only hesitation is that the AotP rules are a nightmare when it comes to being specific.

Re: AotP Question Dump

I also agree, and don't know how else you would interpret it.

Re: AotP Question Dump

Yeah, the +2 part doesn't mention engagement so I think you can use it even when engaged.

Re: AotP Question Dump

Yeah that's how I interpreted it. She gets a ranged attack bonus, but if you get in close, she can blow it for a one-shot +2.
The card doesn't say anything about using the one-shot power only if she isn't engaged.

Re: AotP Question Dump

I, too, received an official ruling in regards to Dual Casting:

Response By Email (Mike) (09/03/2015 01:52 PM)
Hi Bradley,

Thank you for your patience while we researched your game play question.

I'm pleased to reply. When using the the red spell Dual Casting, the played card does count towards the 3 spell per turn limit. Here’s an example:

You play Incinerate.
You play Dual Casting.
You select Incinerate to play again.
You have played 3 spells and cannot play another spell this turn.

Again, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.

I hope you have a fun day!

Kind regards,

Re: AotP Question Dump

Question with the Mind Control effects, both Jace's and the Sorcery.

How have people been handling Disengagement Rolls when under Mind Control? I had a couple of situations arise last night where I could mind control an enemy figure and force it to disengage 3-4 times before attacking.

Thoughts?

I've only had that situation arise once, and we played that while a creature was being controlled due to a mind control ability, the figures it disengages from are the same figures that it'd be disengaging from as though it were your own creature from the beginning (I.e not your own creatures, as it would be if the original controller had disengaged).
