The latest updates for the
REG,
ORDIR and
Host Guide are live!
Host Guide - No More Checking Multiple DecksThere is an update to the host guide, and players can no longer check multiple decks and are limited to 1 deck per category.
These are the significant updates to rules in the REG. There is NOT an update to negate at this time.
DurationDuration now has an actual definition, and the status quo is restored for the "while equipped" and similar abilities that were only intended to last one phase. There are a couple of other changes as well:
1) The "permanent" cards (Sites, Forts, Artifacts, Lost Souls) end when removed or deactivated. The simple explanation for that is "current phase" should be a default, and those card types override that default.
2) Triggers can only be used while the ability persists, so they don't usually linger on those permanent cards. This change does impact some optional "after battle" abilities on characters that have always persisted but are now easier to use.
HoldThere are 2 updates to hold:
1) Hold can hold characters from hand and hold cards face down from territory, so The Darkness promo works.
2) A hold effect can only target each card once in each Prep Phase, so each card can either move in or out, but not both. This hampers the Heavenly Host/Chamber of Angels and Ashkelon/Raiders' Camp combos, stopping them from working with just 1 card, but they can still work if there are multiple cards to rotate through.
IgnoreIgnore has been combined with Withdraw, so all ignore abilities now function as a withdraw ability.
Begin a New PhaseThis is a new definition, so there's a reference for older cards and the II cards that use "Begin a New Battle".
