Weather Control Question

I was just thinking about the 40 Weather Control deck and realized that there might be a problem with it that hadn't occurred to me before. Can Roreca Quaid play, say, 10 Weather Controls if she starts with two blood on her? Or will she be sent to torpor on playing the third without the opportunity to play any more? Sad, if she can't play them all... means the zillion-Weather Control deck just doesn't have the potential of the zillion-Drawing out the Beast deck... Josh oh unhappy roreca...

[ quoted text not captured ] Roreca can play more WCs than she has blood. Card Text: "Only usable at beginning of combat. Both combatants and their retainers suffer 1 damage before range is determined each round, including the first This damage cannot be prevented. (S) As Above, but the amount of damage dealt increases by one each round." Playing a weather control (at the beginning of combat) sets up an effect that deals a damage at the start of the round. You don't immediately remove one blood for each WC that is played instead you play as many as you want and then move to the beggining of round where the damage then occurrs. By the way, my recent order of 30 weather control just arrived two days ago. This will be my next deck! -- Robert Goudie rrgo...@earthlink.net http://madnessnetwork.hexagon.net

Oh, excellent. In that case I can still hope to build one of those decks myself... Josh think I only have about 16 weather control at the moment though...
