Rules Q&A
- Q: With a POPULAR Stronghold and decent follower (Advance Scout) that foils *any* terrain-based strategy, terrains are just not good right now. There is no counter to negating a terrain, except Fall on your Knees (and even that doesn't work with Deadly Ground as I understand it).
A: It does if it's countering a Reaction that's taken before Deadly Ground goes into effect...like the one on that Stronghold you're talking about. Jeff Alexander, "post for 25 July 2002", 26 Jul 2002 - Q: Does a terrain card nullified by Advance Scout or the Ancient Halls stronghold still technically resolve, without effect? In other words, would it be possible to play A Samurai's Fury in response to the resolution of a nullified Delayed Terrain?
A: Yes and yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 5 March 2002", 6 Mar 2002
