Sorry for opening this new thread, I would have gladly replyed to the previous one but it somehow results to be locked or I have no access rights to it anylonger.
What I want to ask here is:
-Is it confirmed that PotM has a buggy behaviour when it comes to deal with AS's ability? Is therefore confirmed the presence of a bug? (related to the keyword "combat").
-What Mojumbo states in the follow-up explanation seems to conflict (in my opinion) with what Gondorian has stated in 2.88Buglist thread (pag 11) regarding AS vs DT:
M:"It should be noted, however, that the act of placing an ally from the field to the graveyard will be considered "killing" it for the purposes of a card effect. As such, even if a card did say "placed in the graveyard" it would still mean the ally was killed as long as it was in play before being placed in the graveyard."
G: "Artful Squire's on-summon ability allows him to override normal rules of the game (that's what most cards do!) and makes him act like an ability card that has been summoned, yet is not in play as an ally. So Death Trap doesn't go off."
I hope you can see the mechanical discrepancy I'm trying to highlight.
Please understand that I'm still a noob both for playstyle and for card knowledge as well as regarding the online card-flagging system, so I'm sorry to say at this stage I find that the card rulings are "too flexibles" and very "occasion dependant".
As I stated before, the effect box should be self-explanatory and is frustrating discovering "IFs" in the middle of a game, especially if there is no "refree" to appeal to. The card "wordings" seem to leave too much space for "free/multiple interpretation".
Thanks in advance for the attention and sorry again for the duplicate post.
