Announcing major changes coming up!

nice change.
I have thought Jasmine's ability should be changed as Morbit Acolytes's ability.

For those of you speaking a foreign language, we'll be posting translated versions of the cards soon for peer review before they are made available on the live server.

It is nice you do before release it on the live server.
Since I heard localized versions will be made in near days, My anxiety was whether correct or not the translation would be.
Many heads would like to support if you post these on subforum.

Great to hear about Jasmine. Always thought the effect should be stopped if she's killed, used to annoy me that it didn't.
Was this the big announcement?

[Helio]

Wow... What a huge neft to Jas since her ability is useless on your turn...unlike Morbid...

Anyway I agree with the others, changing the text on CoTC is OK since it doesn't change the card... It only clarifies it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Jasmine's charm ability a negative effect?

*checks rule book*

Yeah, I believe it falls under the "can't attack" category. Going by what Kyle said, Jasmine's ability should behave as normal right? Unless Can't attack/defend are no longer negative effects?

Ruling Change[/SIZE]

Effects from cards should stop if the card leaves play, with the exception of negative effects (frozen, disabled, ablaze, and poisoned) and base stat changes.

The most famous example of this is Jasmine's ability: if the enemy is able to kill her, then the effect should be stopped. This is a ruling change from what is currently implemented in the digital game, in order to have all cards behave consistently.

Other than that strange part (to me at least), interesting news and great news imo.

and those base atk to 0 abilities?

What about Layarian Diplomat? So if he is killed, which would be very easy to do since he is only 2 health, his effect would only be in effect in your turn when he was summoned? The wording on that card doesn't say anything about him being in play like Morbid Acolyte.


Layarian Diplomat
"When Layarian Diplomat is summoned, target opposing ally loses all passive abilities until the start of your next turn."

Yeah, the rulebook is being changed, so that "can't attack" and "can't defend" are not negative effects. Only the DOTs and disabled/frozen will be negative effects. So that actually changes Healing Touch / Jericho / Regeneration and possibly Medusil too.

With all cards now requiring themselves to be in play to have their effect, Morbid Acolyte will be reworded and Layarian Diplomat will behave as you mention (which I think it already does actually).

If you are talking about Raven, then that's a one-shot stat change, so it persists beyond the card that caused it.

I have an idea...
What if we add color to negative effects.. So the word poison, frozen, ablaze etc are blue text... And then Jericho ability would have the words "negative effects" in blue... So you know blue removes blue.

I would also like it if Morbid's ability would actually remove the passive text... For example if used on Gargoyle, the card text area is now blank.
