Second summoners and unit-specific Events

[Barliman]

I know that the second summoners are a ways off -- latter half of 2012 I guess -- but I already have a question.

People will be able to deck-build with units from the 1st summoner, reinforcements, and 2nd summoner. But since Events are very particular to each summoner, they won't be able to mix Event Cards, right?

I ask this because there are a few Event Cards that are unit-specific: MV Torodin's Advance, CL Raid, and SG Shiny. If I wanted to use Torodin with the MV 2nd summoner, can I swap the Torodin's Advance card for one of the second summoner Events? I reckon not, which is a slight bummer, but I thought I'd ask to make sure.

To build your deck, you do these things in this order:

1) Choose a faction
2) Choose a Summoner
3) Add that Summoner's specific Events and starting units from their reference card
4) Add 3 Walls
5) Add 3 champions from that faction or Mercs
6) Add commons from that faction or Mercs up to 18 total, including the ones that start on the board, without going over 10x any common
7) Make sure there isn't more than 6 Mercs in the deck

So, you won't be able to mix events.

Well, yes, I'm aware of the rules on that point. I'm just wondering if, when the second summoners appear, whether there might be exceptions to the rule. This is especially relevant when considering unit-specific events. Using Torodin with the MV other summoner might be cool, but it would be cooler if you could use Torodin's advance as well.

This also has implications for home-grown faction design. You'd want to be careful if you have an idea for a unit-specific event that might not be portable to other summoners.

Its stated somewhere you can't add Summoner's events from another. This is why Events all have the Portrait of the owner on them. Anyway, if they wanted Torodin's advance on the second Summoner, they can just put that exact same card in with the portrait of the new Summoner on it.

Since I doubt that the second summoner decks will duplicate any units from the earlier decks, I doubt that they would have any Event cards that refer to those units.

Yep, I know it's stated. But most of the stated rules have exceptions, and I wonder if this rule would also have exceptions. As I said, I suspect not, but one can hope.
