hi,

i have a big problem. my oppoent uses a dragonmage, and if the effect is not misprinted, it survives all with his 1 remaining point out of damage assignment?

please tell me, am i wrong with the card effect, or how to destroy a card like dragonmage? (not stealing it, i want to destroy it with a card) thnx

The text on the dragonmage card says:

Whenever the unit is assigned damage cancel all but one of that damage.

This effectively means normally it will take 3 attacks at different times to kill the dragonmage, usually this will mean 3 of your battlefield phases, however it could also include things like dame from dwarf rangers.

Very effective ways to kill it would be,

-hp effect, this isn't affected by his ability because it isnt damage in the traditional sense

Mob up ignores damage cancelattion effects such as that on the card

Deathmaster Sniktch ability would ignore ability

Bloodthirster also ignores damage cancellation

Counterstrike damage ignores cancellation.

Most importantly, the card effect does not say/infer/mean cancels all damage when the dragonmage is on 1hp, or cannot do more than 1 damage ever.

If you have only standard attacks to kill the dragonmage just assign 1 damage to it every battlefield phase unless your forced to assign more as there are no other valid targets

thnx so much!!!

that crazy mage was like a superhero. 3 battlephases is no child play, but now i know. thnx so much:-)

Dragonmage is one of the few cards that actually should get mileage out of the HElves healing stuff. Normally, you defend, you die is pretty much the mantra, so pffft, healing. Of course, nasty (in a good way ) DElves have Call the Blood to get rid of a damage DM.

yes, i have seen in that dragonmage deck quite some spells and healing, so in best situation the mage survives even more time! thnx:-)
