Very nice vid, thanks!

I could try and motivate some of the Belgians to make the trip. Timing would have to be right though, so 6+ months of planning time required. Crossing the Atlantic vs. crossing the North Sea... not that big a difference if you think about it. :1_Happy_Puppet1:

While multiple castings of Violation can be devastating, getting enough targets to cast multiple Violations is often tricky, especially against a savvy opponent. I've also run many a game with Sonnia where I didn't cast a single Flame Burst. But I still feel Sonnia is at her most effective when she can burn a stone for Confiscated Lore and then just do 2 or 3 soulstoned bursts (which is up to 4 stones in a single turn on offense alone) against a crew that isn't spread out enough (which, with 2" extra range and 3 is hard to do). If your opponent does spread out to minimize blast damage he's often at a positional disadvantage, so if you keep your crew tight enough together he'll have a hard time engaging. So, in short: if you take a smaller cache of soulstones with Sonnia you're limiting her potential, because if you only have 4 - 6 stones, would you really be willing to burn 4 of them in a single turn?

Ignore this, misread the question.

Hurray, another group of players enter the fray! Timing's unfortunate (see previous poster), but I'm sure I'll get some people to come along anyway. Where do we sign up?

You can't cheat a healing or prevention flip. You can only prevent each source of damage once.

<-- This. Outcasts masters suffer even more with their cache of 0. As for Sonnia, I always run her with 7-8 stones (or very rarely 6, in really small games). You could spend 4 ss on a minion, or use 1 ss with your master to blow said minion to bits. You could spend 4 ss on a minion only to lose your master because all of a sudden he's out of stones when the time comes to defend/prevent wounds.

What Wolfgar said. Protect chains (PeaceKeeper -> Hoffman -> Guardian) are quite powerful.

The Guardian suffers all 5 wounds. The wounds the original target would suffer are only reduced to 2 when actually applying them, which means the model would die. If you choose to transfer this happens before applying them to the original target.

Based purely on the wording I have to agree that only 2 Gaki would be required to devour a Ht 2 model. Based on the wording it should be quite clear though that the intent was 2 other Gaki. Not sure why this is being drawn out like this. All points have been made; if a marshall weighs in it gets solved and otherwise/until then just use common sense.

I think the ruling that you could check auras when they became relevant; in the above case that would be when the Specialist dies, and not before.

I believe the damage flip happens after all resist flips have been completed (as per the wording, not that it's relevant). Furthermore, I'm fairly certain a Marshal clarified that the damage flip was unmodified (neutral, 1 card and that's it).

No, the model would be placed at ground level.

Thus this mean Hoffman can no longer assimilate spells?

Technically, yes, you can.

Well, usually any pig that gets caught too close to LJ gets reduced to ham, so I'd use Sooey to keep them safe. But against a ranged crew (many guild crews are predominantly ranged) I'd stay in melee range.

No, Levi is an Outcast. He does not have the mercenary trait.

Pretty sure this is wrong. Nico can only count as undead when he's on the board, the ability doesn't work during the hiring step.

Of course.

Incorrect, I believe. The ruling stated that they would die if they didn't discard. I'll see if I can find it later. Correct on the Shikome though.

It's been ruled that soulstone augury applies to healing flips etc. as well.

It has been ruled on before. Levi can sacrifice JD since his Wd stat is considered 0. Jacky doesn't really like Levi very much. Him and skeeters...

Lord Chompy Bits has to activate immediately and interrupts the companion chain as per his own rules.

The ability's timing is contained in its wording. You just measure at the end of Collodi's activation.

The damage suffered from Hurt is more like a cost. You can't pay if you don't have the wounds left, so if Sue is down to 2 wounds he can only draw one card and bring himself down to 1 wound.
