Updated Cards

We are extremely judicious in updating cards, but sometimes it is necessary to do so. The Updated Cards codex entry is updated accordingly.

• Lord of Lies - Don’t trust his words, it’s in the name! He won’t dirty his own hands in the fight any more. Causes two other units to fight.
• Mirage - The site you return to your hand must be one you own and control. This matches design intent and avoids Desecrate and Heirloom Lost shenanigans where you could steal sites from your opponent.

FAQ

• Plague of Frogs reversed previous FAQ that said Frogs could be summoned to different locations. Now, all seven Frogs must be summoned to the same location. This addresses a speed of play issue.
• Vindictive Nation reversed previous FAQ that said this ability doesn't trigger when Vindictive Nation is silenced. Now, Vindictive Nation will trigger as it's being silenced, which matches design intent. Clarified a specific interaction with Atlantean Fate as well.
• Young Master Damion clarified that if you Poison Nova Damion and his Ghouls, the Ghouls will survive. Special thanks to everyone in the judge channels who weighed in on this interaction!
• The Inquisition clarified how to resolve this effect when this card is named by Feast for Crows, and clarified that your opponent cannot choose to fail to see it when searching.
• Call of the Sea clarified that this will not affect minions which are in the void or underground.
• Mimic clarified that if this is summoned from a cemetery by Deathspeaker, it will still be banished.
• Accursed Albatross clarified that it is minions near the killer which are killed by this ability.
• Troubled Town clarified that named Townsfolk are included in the special limited rules for summoning from outside your collection, e.g. Eltham Townsfolk and Serava Townsfolk.
• Order of the White Wing clarified that if it's summoned along with other minions simultaneously, they are all summoned successfully.
• Boulevard of Bones vs. silence effect clarified that if the adjacent site silences the Boulevard (e.g. Smokestacks of Gnaak, Fields of Phyxis), a skeleton token is not summoned.
• Mirage + Pathfinder updated an old FAQ that is now moot, given Mirage's updated text. These effects combine as you would expect.
• Overflowing Court clarified that it affects any card with the exact word "Court" in the card name.
• Mock Court, Court of Equity, and Mobbed Court clarified that these effects stack if multiple copies are in the realm.
• Mock Court clarified that this is an additional summoning cost, not casting cost. It is paid at the moment the Ordinary minion would be summoned into the realm. It applies to ordinary token minions (e.g. Skeletons, Frogs, Foot Soldiers) that are summoned without being cast, as well as ordinary minions that you cast normally (e.g. Apprentice Wizard).
• Army of the Dead clarified that the skeletons spawned by this ability are summoned, and that they enter the location where they are summoned.

Codex

• Updated the Oversized Units entry for clarity and to collect all of the relevant rulings in one place. No rulings regarding oversized units have changed, but they can be more easily referenced and are accompanied by more examples to hopefully help with comprehension.
• Added an entry for Stronger, Strongest, Weaker, Weakest to define these terms.
• Updated the Attack entry to specify that "successfully attacking" a site refers to striking a site during step 5.a of the Attack sequence.
• Updated the Triggered Ability entry to clarify that if the act of removing an ability satisfies the trigger condition, it is still triggered. This is relevant for Vindictive Nation being silenced.
• Updated the entry for Site to clarify how effects move sites. There's no change to any rulings, just collecting information from various FAQs to make it easier to find.
• Updated the entry for Here to clarify how "entering here" works for sites.
• Clarified that if you draw a card but it ends up in a different zone (e.g. Morgana, Omphalos), it still counts as you (the player) drawing it.
• Updated several entries to update terminology regarding Stealth and Ward. The term used to track these abilities has been changed from "token" to "mark" to avoid confusion with token cards in the realm.
• Removed "current life" as a characteristic of Avatars. Max Life remains a characteristic, but current life for Avatars is analogous to current damage for a minion; it's something you track, but it's not a characteristic. This change maintains the proper mirroring of rules between avatars and minions (and fixes an unintended interaction with Tabula Rasa).
• Minor update to the Mana article to say that mana leaves your mana pool during step 3 of your end phase.
