    @Omenbringer Can you be more specific as to what allows him to control the deck? I'm not very familiar with the abilities on the second edition models. Do gremlins still have the ability that allows you to draw 2 cards when they die? Is somer still limited to a hand size of 5?

    I am planning on making my triumphant return to Malifaux, and I am looking to get the lay of the land. I have not played since the second edition beta. In first edition the Masters I enjoyed most were Leveticus, Hamlin, and Ramos for their ability to manipulate your deck and hand to such an extreme level. I know a lot of the goofy draw mechanics were removed in second edition. My question is what is left? Who really messes with the fate deck and manipulates the odds of the game in an extreme way? Can I build a crew around this fact? -Hopeless

    If it is an aura what happens if i cast it and then walk into range of a unit? Does Mei interrupt her walk to push with the aura or do you wait until the walk is completed?
  4. HopelessHeretic
    Seismic punch states that you push a model up to three inches directly away from this model. But the spell is listed as a three inch aura. After reading this it seems like it should be a pulse. I'm wondering how this ability actually functions does it: A. Push all models within 3 inches away 3 inches B. Push all models within 3 inches up to 3 inches away (I realize the spell does not say that "up to") C. Act as an aura that stays up and pushes any models I approach to the edge of the aura. (If this is the case how do Df flips interact with auras?)

    OK, so this isn't a hard rules question, but since the section of the forum is titled Rules Discussion I thought this would be a good place for it. What do you do when you come across irreparable game state? So this is when something has happened in the game that you can't just undo. This ranges from flipping over too many cards, ie thinking you have a negative twist when you are straight up, all the way to all the damage marks get erased and you cannot remember how much damage was on every character. What do you do? If the game is casual or in a tourney effect how you deal with it? What would you do in this situation if it is your fault/your opponents fault/you are judging the event?

    Sorry to revive this thread after everyone has forgotten about it, but I thought of another argument as to why you should be able to cast this spell even if the enemy has no soul stones. Let's pretend for a second that you can only target models if their controller still has soul stones left. I cast expensive gift on Lady Justice who has only one stone left and I cheat the spell nice and high. Now Lady J decides she has to soul stone in order to stop the spell from going off, but he flip is terrible and I still beat her. In this instance the spell would then do nothing cause there is no stone to steal. That doesn't seem correct to me at all. There has been some talk in this thread about rules as written vs. rules as intended, but in this case I believe them to be the same. The two sentences signify two separate interactions.

    Maybe it is just the crews I play (Colette, Ramos, Levi, and Hamlin) but I have never had a problem with Hamlin (after the change to rat catchers wounds.) He straight up loses some match ups and strategies (Pandora, Seamus, Kirai, Slaughter). I feel he is a noob-stomper because once you know how to play against him you can beat him. And now that avatars are out almost every crew has the tools to deal with him (going avatar will end insignificant).

    Dano...You should try using washes... Open Spoiler Don't flame me inside joke
  9. HopelessHeretic
    Oh...OK. He is actually on the painting table right now. When did he get the name overkill? Not that it isn't fitting.
  10. HopelessHeretic
    Ummm....who is overkill?
  11. HopelessHeretic
    Who are you and what have you done with the other six Toledo henchmen?
  12. HopelessHeretic
    Alright the closest thing I have found to a precedence (and I must admit it is a bit of a stretch) is that with surge you are not allowed to draw a card if you cannot discard a card (per the Malifaux FAQ). Surges wording is as follows with me adding the bold text. Ca (tt) After successfully casting a Spell, discard one Control Card then draw one Control Card. Here there is a clear if then statement meaning that the second effect is contingent on the first. There is no "then" in expensive gift so if they the opponent has no soul stones you can still gain one.
  13. HopelessHeretic
    I believe barring some kind of if then statement malifaux as a system is a "do as much as you can" system. Meaning that if you can't do everything in an effect you do as much of it as you can. For example if you cast a spell that gives slow and -2df but the model is already slow (can't gain slow if you already have slow) it would still get the -2df. In all honesty I think the discard one soul stone is what stops you from casting it on your own models. I think this is a lot of crying over a spell that is only strong because of Cassandra's understudy ability.

    You will have to pry the rule of equivalency from my cold dead hands...

    Like I said give up your crutch not necessarily your faction (unless you want to.)
  16. HopelessHeretic
    Having 800 counters really helped him with that.
  17. HopelessHeretic
    I don't mean crutch in a "this model is overpowered way." I just rely on Alyce so much that she dictates how the rest of my Ramos crew is built. For example Nekima is not a crutch unless you cannot or will not play Neverborn/ Lilith without her. Also this should not be a give up the faction type thing (unless you want it to be.) It also doesn't have to be models you could say give up kidnap for instance (and hats off to you if you do.) Just have fun with it!

    So I have been playing Warmachine for about a year and some friends I have been playing with are involved in Muse on Mini's Crutch Free 2012. http://museonminis.com/crutch-free-2012/ I am still a little too new to the game for this but I was wondering if anyone was interested in trying this out with Malifaux. Now I realize that this is horribly timed with GenCon right around the corner, but I think that makes it that much more impressive. So I will start. Last year at GenCon I placed 6th in Master of Malifaux with Leveticus. I will not run Levi this year at all, and if 15 forum users join me I will drop Alyce as well (I crutch on her pretty hard with Ramos). So...Who's in?

    I personally think that this is definitely a game (meaning no side has a clear advantage.) Ramos can struggle against Hoff because dampening really hinders the usefulness of the electrical creation. But I think a brass arachnid, rusty and Ramos throwing a lot of electrical fire and rust cold mess up quite a few constructs plus large arachnids with their armor ignoring would mess them up when they close on Ramos' crew. This is a really fun match up that I would love to see.
  20. HopelessHeretic
    Count me in for sure. Also what is the scoring method?
  21. HopelessHeretic
    How does the limitation work with models that replace or summon? For example lets say Ramos.
  22. HopelessHeretic
    Can you target yourself? Can't find anything that says you can't but ramos' combat mechanic spell was changed in v2 to this model ir target friendly model from target friendly model. -Heretic

    An interesting situation arose in a game the other day and I just want to confirm that I have the ruling correctly. Stitched Together activates Spider Swarm Paralyzes Stitched and kills it with the overwhelm trigger Does not die goes off leaving the Stitched in play Stitched gains reactivate as part of does not die Can the stitched be "killed" again to grant it reactivate? I ruled it as no since I remember a thread http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21036 that stated models gain do not reactivate after the reactive. -Heretic
  24. HopelessHeretic
    eight but her merc cost is +2 so ten. Ramos is a fun master that I feel is middle of the pack as far as the power scale goes. -Heretic
  25. HopelessHeretic
    @Jonas Albrecht Yeah actually 12 cause alyce costs a whopping twelve but she has lost of other cool tricks that let me justify her since she can give out reactivate has an amazing gun with headshot on rams (ramos needs very few of these) while the gaurdian is great at points I had trouble justifying him at eight but I will definitely try this out. @CRC Wow I did not catch this errata thank you. I had this questioned at master at malifaux and the judge ruled in my favor so I guess I just assumed. Although Zee and Sketch made a point of telling us that these rulings do not stand for the entire game system and the rulings on the forum override. I feel like every time I turn around they cuddle my lovely spiders. -Heretic
