(LSJ) Power of All question

Hello, Can Power of All be played during combat ? In general, reactions that can be played during combat are written as such, wich is not Power of All's case, but considering what I believe to be the card's "designer intent", I am wondering... Thank you ! François

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes, just as DI can be played in combat, despite lacking the same wording.

In message <nA56k.5817$N87....@nlpi068.nbdc.sbc.com>, LSJ [ quoted text not captured ] Master cards aren't prohibited from being played in combat though. Minion cards are, and Power of All is a minion card. 6.4: Note: The only minion cards that can be played during combat are combat cards (unless a card states otherwise, of course). The rules prohibit Power of All (and it has no text as referred to by the rules). The rules do not prohibit DI being played in combat, so it doesn't need such text. Additionally, if such text were needed on DI, "If it was a strike card, the minion chooses another strike" could be taken as a clumsy indication that it can be played in combat, since there are no strike cards that aren't combat cards that I can think of. (The rule book seems clear that strike cards and weapons aren't the same thing, for example.) Therefore, I think you're wrong. DI has no such text because it doesn't need it - only other minion cards are prohibited in combat. By 6.4, Power of All does need it, and does not have it. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.

Ah, OK. REVERSAL: Power of All cannot be played during combat.

[ quoted text not captured ] Yeah. That's the difference between strategy and tactics.

The only minion cards playable during combat are combat cards and as given in card text. Power of All is not a combat card, and no card text makes it playable in combat.

[ quoted text not captured ] Impressive LSJ, kudos for the reversal. :) I think a lot of people might have dug their heels in!
