actually, rob ruled in favor of grapes letting you make a new RA in the case of a tie.

srry, typed the wrong thing.  MKC is right.

2. 9001 characters is quite a lot.   But not, weakness is already in your territory, and enhancements default to "in battle." So he'd only negate special abilites of cards still in battle.

I'm not so sure on your reasoning. I asked a similar question a while ago.

I attacked with a blue hero, my opponent blocked with a black ec. He played A-Bom, put it in my territory and then played Wrath of Satan. I played Abe's Servant to Ur, and I was told by Gabe or someone that it would negate A-Bom (I'll go look for the thread ).

We ended up ruling it Weakness was not negated beings you can't interrupt your own enhancements or something like that.

EDIT: AWW. It wasn't Gabe that confirmed it, now I don't feel so sure . Prof and YMT did agree, though. http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=15376.0

You don't get initiative to interrupt your removal if you're causing it.  Other than that, you can interrupt your own enhancements.

On 3, Korah's Rebellion interrupts Abe's Servant, so he could play an interrupt/negate to stop Korah's Rebellion.  Abe's Servant would then reactivate and prevent anything played for the rest of the battle.

That enhancement would just get negated when Abe's Servant reactivated though, unless it was CBI right?

It doesn't matter anyway, since Abe's Servant would then be interrupting the interruption of an interrupt, which the "Cannot be Prevented" LS has no power over.

Maybe we had 90 players in one type 2 multi game. You don't know our local rules  .

Thanks for the answers/clarifications, everyone.

I thought negates default to "in battle." Isn't that why captain doesn't negate artifacts? Even though artifacts can be negated?

Play As: Negate all special abilities on characters and enhancements (except banding and Captain’s special abilities).

An artifact is not a character or enhancement.
