New Son of God and the Hopper

"Negate and rescue a lost soul."

"When drawn, place this lost soul in opponent's land of bondage."

Gamerule: "You can only rescue lost souls in your opponent's land of bondage."

I'm not going to look up the exact wording, but I'm pretty sure this is accurate. Anyway, my question is: if my opponent draws the Hopper, can I negate it with the new Son of God, causing it to go into their land of bondage, thereby allowing me to rescue it with Son of God's second ability?

2.  You cannot rescue lost souls in your own Land of Bondage.

To clarify, Westy is referring to using SoG on the same phase that Hopper is drawn to negate it. Honestly, I don't see how this wouldn't work. The negate comes first, and there's no game rule disallowing the ability to negate a soul in your territory.

Sounds legit, as long as he rescues the hopper as the abilities are tied together.
Just one more thing...

Wouldn't it depend on when the hopper was drawn? No cards can be played during the draw phase, so this hopper would have to be drawn during a different phase if this were to possibly work...

Yeah, I've got a question about that while we're here. Where is that rule?

Quote from: REG
The draw phase is the first phase of a player’s turn. A player must draw three cards from the top
of his deck during his draw phase. Each Lost Soul drawn must be placed in that player’s Land of
Bondage, and the Lost Soul’s special ability activates. Each time a player draws a Lost Soul, he
must draw another card to replace it, until three cards except Lost Souls have been drawn. If no
cards are left in a player’s deck, the game continues using the cards that player has.

The Upkeep Phase immediately follows the Draw Phase. On a player’s upkeep phase, a turn is
added to the count of that player’s set-aside, poison, or disease abilities.

I don't see why dominants shouldn't be able to be played in the draw phase if it's in response to an opponent's action. It does say the upkeep phase follows immediately after, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't play cards during the draw phase. I do know that you can't rush through phases without letting your opponent's do something though, and that's basically what it's doing.

Doesn't exactly pertain to this ruling though, as you can draw the hopper during every other phase, but it's undoubtedly going to come up now that this knowledge is public.

wouldnt this also work against you? like, if you had your own hopper, and it went to your opponent on turn 2, then, on turn 4 you draw son of God and play it to rescue your own hopper, which is in their LoB. Since its negated, wouldnt it go back to your own LoB, and then you wouldnt be able to rescue it?

Once the Hopper is in their territory it cannot be negated in a later phase. Place abilities cannot be negated after the phase they were played in ends. This is why if you attack with Cheribum with Wheel Within a Wheel and they block with KoT, W3 isn't discarded after battle.

Hey,

It's the same reason you can't play Harvest Time in response to your opponent's only remaining lost soul being underdecked with Hormah durring battle resolution.  Like battle resolution, the draw phase (and upkeep phase) are "instant" phases, you do what must be done and move on.

Battle Resolution isn't exactly a phase, it's a subphase (like the artifact phase), but I guess I can live with that. Still, being able to negate Hopper off Feast/Hero draws seems good.

In the rulebook (which I accessed through the REG), under Diagram of a Turn --> Overview, it states
Quote
The following phases are performed each turn, even if nothing is actively done on a particular phase.  A response is allowed between every separate phase.
This seems to say that Mayhem (and other dominants) could be played between phases, which would allow it to be played after drawing and before Sin in the Camp targets the 3 cards. If this is not the case, then this statement is misleading, because that is how I would interpret it...
Well done, Ken.  That quote seems pretty clear to me.  Nice find.

These quotes are from an old thread about Mayhem and SiTC but seem to suggest that you can play Mayhem in the draw phase. SirNobody disagreed.

I agree with The Hobbit back in 2010 I was told Mayhem could be played during the draw phase by multiple judges at the Boston Nats.

In keeping with simplicity of the rules does it really make any sense to play stuff "between" phases? I have NEVER heard of another card game that has phases and in-between phases ::)

It doesn't matter whether Mayhem can be played in draw phase or not only that it can be played before the next phase takes place.

Actually, the original question in this thread does have a vested interest in the question of when dominants are played before the prep phase.

Yeah, we really need to get rid of this "Between the phases" stuff. It came up once when we were discussing artifacts and it's just plain confusing.

I would say that you can do what the OP suggests if the hopper is drawn outside of draw phase. The only thing that can happen during your draw phase is drawing (and any resultant abilities of LSs drawn, such as shame, far country and territory discard).
Press 1 for more options.

What about Upkeep Phase? The only thing that happens during upkeep is a turn is triggered and any abilities that specifically say it. Can I play Mayhem before they get to use Fishing Boat? Can I play SoG on a hopper drawn by Fishing Boat?

doesn't the hoppers ability need to complete before you can play SoG?

Yes, but the first ability of the new Son of God negates a soul, then rescues it.  You target it to negate it, which sends it back to your opponent's land of bondage, then you target it to rescue it.

At the very least, Tim, Jordan and Bryon all wish to have the draw and upkeep phases become a series of triggered effects which would allow no response during or between the triggers. While that is not my preference I'll submit to thier collective wisdom. That would be a change to the status quo that dominants can be played anytime and your opponent must allow a dominant to be played before moving to the next phase. It's my understanding that under thier interpretation a dominant could not be played until the prep phase.

Well, I will say I'm with you Gabe, but thanks to coming to a consensus on this so quickly.

However, could we change the REG to reflect that? Currently it says "A dominant can be
played at any time regardless of initiative or turn." But that's not true at all. It can only be played in 3/5 phases.
