Questions and Stuff...

[Jivatma]

With a new slew of reinforcements charging down the mountain to their respective camps, there's quite a few new mechanics that I'd like to discuss. A lot of these I feel I know the answer to, but just wanted to clarify and put somewhere for the community's sake.

Hand size: Magos Increases the hand size from 5 to 7. In the event that Magos dies and you still have 7 cards in your hand, do you have to discard down to 5 at any point?

Malevolence only harms herself after her attack, correct? 2-4x Malevolence's on the field don't all gain wounds from 1 of the attacking, correct?

You can shadow summon Sairook even if you already have 5 (or 7) cards in hand?

Halvor's rage only works for the current turn. it does not work retroactively, correct?

Bragg's Cold Snap effect's enemy "Freeze" as well, correct?

Thwarter's are still pwned by Maeleena if she rolls a miss correct? Burning blade is better then Ice Shield?

Relentless Ability now allows up to 3 attacks after the initial attack phase. I can still pick and choose the order of their attack, correct?

Scaag is an optional ability, yes? And also optional is theability to wound my own units?

-------------
Beginning/End of Turn: Just for clarification, Beginning of turn is BEFORE the draw phase, and End of turn is AFTER build magic phase, correct?

Walls of the Ice Shard was declared "not an attack." Per that ruling, Cards that change the dice result needed to apply wound markers does not Affect Grognack's ability?

Furthermore, abilities that change the die result needed to attack change how effective Shamans work, yes? Tordok means i need to roll two dice higher then 5. Correct?

adding and bumping...

Holleas ALWAYS forces me to shuffle my deck? even if i choose a Fire Beast from my hand?

The Vermin's controller decides when Skhull's Fear ability works (before or after Plague).

Like Vermin, Chargers also decide whether or not Skhull's Fear works before Charge?

Bragg also affect enemy Ice Walls?

I can answer three of them confidently, these are probably the ones your comfortable with though...oh well

Malevolence - only the attacking Malevolence gets wounded by cursed blade

Maleana - Thwarters and Baldar have the same ability (although different names) so Maleana still inflicts the wound from Burning Blade

You still get to choose the order of the relentless attacks, there is just now a chance for a third one.


These are all good questions and they should go into the appropriate books.

1. You do not have to discard to 5 cards with Magos.
2. Malevolence says "place a wound on this card." She only wounds herself.
3. Yes, you can still Shadow Summon Sairook with a full hand. You just can't draw more cards until you have less than 5.
4. Halvor's card very clearly says "until the end of this turn."
5. Yes. Bragg affects both players' Freezes and Ice Walls, as it does not mention ownership anywhere on the card.
6. Maelena does the one auto wound, as the earlier poster said.
7. My assumption is that yes, you can, because even if they're not the same phase (as I believe they are), the person whose turn it is decides the order of activation.
8. Scagg's power says "may," so it is indeed optional.
9. You're right about beginning/end of turns.
10. Correct, WoIS is not affected by something like Tordok or GI.
11. This is up in the air to my knowledge.
12. Technically based on the wording, yes, you have to shuffle. This will probably get FAQ'd.
13. This is tricky. It'll probably be FAQ'd; since Skhull seems to cue on "when" and the Vermin says "after."
14. See above.
15. Already answered.

Thanks for answering the rest of those. I'm at work so I could only go from memory.
