Ok I make a RA with Micah with HT up.  I play Sword of the Lord to make my Greek scholar fight my twelve fingered Giant.  It is a stalemate and initiative is passed to the one I control.  I play displeased Philistines and then pass initiative and the side battle ends.

Displeased PhilistinesType: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 0 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Opponent (s) may not draw any cards or search draw pile next turn. • Play As: All opponents are prevented from drawing or searching draw pile next turn. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: I Samuel 29:7


Back in the main battle, I have initiative and I play A New Beginning:

A New Beginning
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Green • Ability: 4 / 5 • Class: None • Special Ability: ALL players shuffle ALL cards in the field of play, set-aside areas and their hands back into their draw pile. Only cards in Land of Redemption and discard piles remain. ALL players Draw 8 new cards. Holder may begin a new turn. • Errata: If making a rescue attempt, ALL players shuffle ALL cards in the field of play, set-aside areas and their hands back into their draw pile. Only cards in Land of Redemption and discard piles remain. ALL players draw 8 new cards. Holder may begin a new turn. [Note: The new turn begins when the new hands are drawn.] • Identifiers: None • Verse: Genesis 8:15-17 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Ultra Rare)


So does Displeased philistines prevent my opponent from drawing the 8 new cards for aA NEw Beginning?

I think it is:
-shuffle everything
-end battle phase
-skip discard phase and end turn
-every player draws 8
-begin new turn

  with the added note that I've always interpreted the verbiage on Displeased Philistines to mean the opponents' turns.  ANB initiates a new turn for you, not your opponents.

ok- so what if i played ANB after displeased philistines, shuffle, start new turn and then ANB again?

would this cause a glitch in the matrix stopping a new turn from beginning

Based on STAMP's reasoning (it applies to each opponent's individual turn), I don't think that would work.

I don't know if that's how it currently works (or if that's how it's supposed to work), but that's the way I've seen it played.

The SA and Play As for Political Bribes, which uses a similar wording:
Special Ability: Each opponent must either skip next draw phase or make no rescue attempt that turn. • Play as: Each opponent is prevented from either drawing cards during draw phase next turn or making a rescue attempt next turn. (Opponent chooses)

ANB says if making a rescue attempt

ok- so i just attack with Hur after ANB. Would that work?

but wouldnt it be a prevent with cbn status?

it doesnt say opponents next turn. It says next turn opponent may not draw cards or make a rescue attempt.  And they obviously cant make a rescue attempt

cant search deck srry.

It doesn't need it.  If you set aside with a card that says "gain 1/1 per turn" or use a poison that says "decrease 1/1 per turn", does that happen on each of the target player's turns, or does it happen every single turn regardless of who is taking that turn?

and my reply is that it does need it. It should have said
 target player is prevented from drawing any cards or seaching drawpile on thier next turn.
Why does gabriel(wa) search for any enhancment? B/C he was meant to? No. Its just that someone upstairs likes it that way. One day even that card wont work in that way.
the card says next turn.
ive created the next turn.
hey, at least you get to keep a card.
