just played : a little bit disapointed

By Shindulus, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

Was talking about "just played" on my "national" WH:I forum and wanted to answer a question about Just Played. As I wanted to check my answer. I was checking FAQ, and unofficial rulling


Twin-Tailed Comet
Q. If a variable cost tactic like Flames of Tzeentch is copied, what is the X in the effect?
A. 0. So a copied Flames of Tzeentch would normally do 0 damage. Nate's ruling

Q. When does a card which targets a "just played" card (like TTC, Drain Magic, or High Elf's Disdain) have to be played?
A. Cards which target a "just played" card must be played immediately after the card to be targeted. This ruling may change slightly in FAQ v1.6.


1- Please can someone give me the source of that rulling? (as it is not mentioned on deckbox forum).

2- To be clear :

That means if I play a tactic and I want to copy it with TTC, as I have to let my opponent play a response first, if he decides to play something I can not copy my tactic.

I was really thinking that all action in the current action pile, were considered as "just played".

In some others example this rulling result in strange... things.

Its based on a discussion I had with Lukas about how "just played" works. We went back and forth on it and eventually he said to just use that ruling for the time being. I think maybe instead of "immediately" I should have written "at the first opportunity", because the intent is that you can still copy your own Tactic. Or even play 2 TTCs in response to a single tactic your opponent plays. Basically if your opponent plays a tactic, and you have the opportunity to repond with TTC, or Drain Magic, etc, you have to do so as soon as you can.

Sorry if my wording in the Rules Summary was confusing. Hopefully the entire issue will be clarified in the next FAQ.

Ok, according to what you just say, is it correct to guess that while creating an action pile, each card played can be considered as "just played"?

You can't target just anything in the pile. For example, if I play Verena, then you don't respond with anything, then I play Long Winter, you can no longer target Verena with "just played" effects like Drain Magic or High Elves Disdain. If I play Plague Bomb, you can copy it with TTC if you repond immediately, and if you want to copy it twice, you can play the second TTC at the next opportunity (after I pass or play another effect in response to your first TTC). Basically, you just have to use stuff that targets "just played" cards as soon as you possibly can.

I think this is all kind of confusing, and I'm hoping Lukas will revisit it before the next FAQ.
