Question for LSJ

If I am playing a Ravnos deck with a mass reality out, and pull out a zip gun during combat, is the damage dealt by zip gun to my minion increased as well? Thanks DF

No. As I recall, Mass Reality increases damage a weapon 'inflicts.' This is taken to be damage done to the opposing target by striking with the weapon. Anything else the equipment does is a side-effect and unaffected by Mass Reality. It just happens that ZipGun has a side-effect resulting in dealing damage, like the .44 magnum has a side effect resulting in an optional maneuver, but side-effects are outside of Mass Reality's purview. In the same way, Talbot's Chainsaw would inflict +1/+2 damage with a Mass Reality in play, but you would still only have to inflict 3 damage to minion you control during untap, not 4 or 5. gomi -- Individually, I love you all with affection unspeakable; but, collectively, I look upon you with a disgust that amounts to absolute detestation.

Does a Methuselah using superior Spying Mission still get >the Edge, even though no pool is lost? Short answer: No. Long answer: Superior SM is played when a bleed would have been successful. Playing SM makes it an unsuccessful bleed (bleeds for 0 or less are not considered successful, and do not therefore garner the Edge). Note that the action itself is successful, for cards that care about such things (inferior Freak Drive, Blood of the Sabbat, et alia). [ quoted text not captured ]

In article <95d4ne$s9v$1...@nnrp1.deja.com>, [ quoted text not captured ] Is this true of all weapons that do environmental damage to the striking minion? IE - Bomb, Grenade and White Phosphorous Grenade. Volya42 [ quoted text not captured ]

IE - Bomb, Grenade and White Phosphorous Grenade. The only effect Mass Reality has on weapons is on the damage they do to the opposing minion. The damage done to the wielder will not be affected in any way by Mass Reality. Carpe Noctem.

IE - Bomb, Grenade and White Phosphorous Grenade. Mass Reality increases damage a weapon inflicts. Inflicts means damage done to the opposing minion when striking with the weapon.
