I'm sad (In the pants) that all I ahve recieved of my 5 boxes and 6 starter decks is 1 starter.

So it is kinda a slow start here (Though I did get the Mage deck I wanted after a few trades).

Yeah this is good to know, especially that you exhaust to protect.

Ahh ok, so I sorta did have it right, I just didn't know that to protect you must exaust... But now since he will be exausted the bonus will nevertheless apply.

Lol... Well honestly I have had a great time with all this... Last night we played for the first time with 60 cards decks, and OMG... Its not at all the same as with 30 card decks... The games are way longer... Oh, and for anyone thats ever dueled a Paladin ingame your in for some MAJOR stall in the TCG.

Skullflame Shield is very nasty when its out, and you don't have something to blow it up.

Lastly, I got a question!!! Probably the only unclear thing we saw during 10 games. Now I don't remember the name of the card, but I am sure some of you do. Its a 1/4 that gets +3 ATK when attacking an exausted ally/hero. Ok, so if you attack an exausted ally, and then the defending player decides to use protector on another ally to jump in front, does the +3 ATK still apply?

We were playing it as "no it didn't" but we are not 100% sure.

The +3 ATK is continuous modifer that will be active as long as the condition listed on the card is met. Technically the bonus doesn't even kick in until the defender actually starts defending in step 3 of Combat. If another character uses Protector to jump in front of the attack, the modifier will then check to see if the new defender is exhausted. Since they have to exhaust to use defender, the modifier will indeed trigger and your ally will gain the +3 ATK.

Actually, your ally keeps the +3 ATK. It's because in order to use Protector, a character has to exhaust, so it would still trigger the +3 ATK.

Anyways, what a blessing you got to get your cards early, well you also got a few sleepless nights which is why I think we havent seen much of you lately. lol. What a ripple effect. I will remember this week for a long time. Hope to hear somethin from you soon Mike.

Here is a little video I just made, enjoy.

As for the distributor, I live in the middle of 3 majors cities, so mums the word.
lol sorry not b mean but u sound like a geek LOL and ur acting like a kid at xmas but lucky *** gettign em alrdy =(

lol @ that --> "not be be mean but u sound like a geek lol"

That's like saying, "no offence but I think you're an idiot". You can't just stick, 'not to be mean' before something then say whatever you want...

and I was actually quite suprised at Mike NOT acting like a kid at xmas. Heck, I would have. He was like, "meh, I'm not even gonna bother opening the boosters now" and he didn't even rip into his pre con starter deck to see every single card in it like I would have lol...

These forums have been pretty nice and friendly so far... would hate to see more ppl like this coming in and ruining it.

A couple of questions:
- How exactly does Forbidden Knowledge work? Does it mean when you draw a card you can (technically) pick any card you want, since your deck is removed from play?

Of course if that ability gets destroyed you won't be able to draw a card. Insta Lose.

That's exactly what it does. Of course, you can only pick from the pool of cards that you removed from the game by using Forbidden Knowledge (maybe it could apply to cards that were removed from the game through other means, but text seems to suggest otherwise)

- For Soul Link can you only "negate" one damage or can you put for example 3 damage counters on an ally an prevent 3 damage to your hero?

Since it's an activated ability, you can use it as many times as you want, as long as you can pay the cost for each activation. So you could set up a chain to prevent a whole bunch of damage, or set up several smaller, separate effects to prevent multiple sources of damage.

- For the Sarmoth (Voidwalker) does it only include battle/combat damage/actions or does in effect abilities too?

Well, first, it's not "the Sarmoth", it's "Sarmoth", period ; ) (that's the demon's name)
Second, it only applies to attacks, as specified by card text ("Opposing heroes and allies that can attack Sarmoth can attack only Sarmoth". So if you want to attack (i.e. declare that your hero or one of your allies is gonna battle against an opposing hero/ally), you can only declare Sarmoth as the target (defender) for the attack.
