C.Hoffman Clarification

Power loop says "At the start of a duel, this model may use the printed numerical DF, WP, CA, SH, or ML (ignoring suits) from another friendly model with Power Lopp instead of it's own."

 

So my question would be- if I power loop in something with a high casting, and use it's printed casting... Does that mean I get to use his casting with no suits at all? Or do I get to use his casting with my inherent suit?

Given a plain text reading I would say you would have no suits at all.  The "instead of its own" clause, to me, reads as a wholesale replacement.  Then, the replacement value loses its printed suits.

See, but the fact that it specifies "Printed numerical value", not just "use their casting" is what causes me to pause.

You use the printed numerical value, say nothing about suits being different, you keep to suit.

[Ausplosions]

I would agree you keep your suit.

A suit is not numerical.

I read Ca as "#:suit" not "#" + ":suit." The wording of counterspell, IIRC (no cards in front of me) supports this.

[Tuttleboy]

I've been wondering the same thing and it seems to me that you take the number and keep any suit you have printed.

[Tuttleboy]

I'm going to post this question in the rules section. I think it's ambiguous enough that starting a debate over there will get us a clarification and possible change to wording, if needed before printing.

You keep the suit you have, you just cant add another suit is how I read it
