Self-Loathing & aMarcus

[NBmaster]

So was playing a game last night Pandora vs. aMarcus, when i cast Self-Loathing on aMarcus the question came up as to if I could make aMarcus attack himself with his Chimeric Assault melee attack as a control card would need to be discarded to make the attack. If Self-Loathing can make aMarcus use this attack who would discard the control card (I would think it would be the me the Pandora player), as my opponent didn't want me to use this attack as aMarcus would have died at the time. thanks for the help in this matter sorry if it has already been asked.

Self Loathing doesn't generate a Strike, it just generates a Damage Flip at with the Weapon.

And since Chimeric Assault doesn't do any damage unless he's performing a Strike, it would be better to choose his Shillelagh.

Cool thanks for the info. Also would the duel total have any effect on the dmg flip i.e. plus or minus from the duel total. I know it starts as a negative flip which is also effected by hard to wound and the like, but would the duel total have any bearing.

It is always a negative flip regardless of the total
