increasing demons

Remember the angel wars enhancements that increase holder's demons 3/3 or 4/4 when placed on a lost soul, that no one uses? 

If I place multiple enhancements do the benenfits stack? 

If my opponent bands to one of my demons, does the increase stay with them?

From what I've heard they stack. I've thought about using them now that High Places makes them useful.

Imagine a 13/14 Foul Spirit or a 17/19 King of Tyrus!  That could be really cool, but I'd be wary of using them just because it would mean you'd practically never have initiative.  You could do some cool stuff with evil banding, though.

Yeah, Initiative would be hard to get if you had say three or four of them out on different LS's.

A KoT (or any other Fbtn) defense might be interesting with these cards...

Please post the actual wording of the special abilities.  Especially with cards that "nobody uses" :)

Consumed by Wants
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Place this card on a Lost Soul. While this card remains, holder's black brigade demons gain 4/4. • Identifiers: NT, Connected with Demons • Verse: Mark 4:19 •



I say that it is cumulative.  Each copy of the card activates and has an ongoing ability so 3 copies would increase a black brigade demon by 12/12 each.

The 2 texp demons, gomer, and KoT all banded with extra numbers on 3/4 all with FBTN? WIN!!

Don't forget to use Demonic Stronghold for some extra numbers as well.

I agree. I know it has been ruled that if both Crown of Thorns and Covenant with Adam were active simultaneously, EC's in battle would decrease 0/6. I would consider this situation nearly identical. Interestingly, I believe this is one of the only ways to keep Self alive if the copied Hero is removed from play, as long as you copy an Angel (making Self a black demon).

Ok they stack but what if my opponent bands to them?  I'm pretty sure that if it said "your demons" it wouldn't be in effect because of the ownership + control issue but this says "holders".  Does that make it still work?

Quote from: REG
Holder

When the special ability of a card refers to the Holder, it means the player that activated the card. If your opponent controls one of your characters, he becomes the holder of that character for the remainder of the battle.

But consumed by wants would be read from your PoV so Consumed by Wants would not work against you if someone else banded the demons into battle.  He did not activate Consumed by wants and so the "Holder" of Consumed by wants is the one who gets the bonus.  Even his own demons used against him would not get hte bonus because until the battle is over they are nto the "holders" demons.

at least that is how I see it.

I agree with this. My opponent is never the "holder" of CbW, even if he is the "holder" of my black brigade demons.
