Master Runes and Chant/Master runes
Question: Can I play two master rune cards in my rune
deck?
Answer: No. You can only have one card with the “Master”
general type on your rune deck, no matter if that card is a “Master rune” or a “Chant/Master
Rune”.
Question: Can I play master rune cards in my deck?
Answer: Depends. You can only play rune cards without the
addition or chant type in your rune deck. But you can play addition/master rune
cards or chant/master rune cards in your deck.
Question: Is a master rune also considered as a rune?
Answer: Yes. “Master” is a general type that rune cards might have, but that doesn’t make it a different type of card. It is still a rune card for effect that checks on rune cards.
Immortal King of Sylthmir, Valgott (ESD1-001)
Question: If I control this ruler, a resonator with four
[+100/+100] counters on it, and my opponent puts four [-100/-100] counters on
that resonator, should I remove the [+100/+100] counters and the [-100/-100]
counters from that resonator?
Answer: No, as they are considered [0/0] counters. Check rule 1203.3a for more information.
Unfounded Suspicions (ESD1-017)
Question: If I target a resonator with this rune, but
before this rune resolves the resonator is no longer a valid target, should I
look their controller’s hand?
Answer: As looking to their controller’s hand is related to
the target, if the target is no longer a valid target, you cannot look their
controller’s hand.
Knight-Captain of Velmardia (ESD2-002)
Question: I control a Knight resonator token. Then, I
play Knight-Captain of Velmardia. I attack with my Knight resonator token two
times (as it has gained [Defiant] (2).). Then, I return Knight-Captain of
Velmardia to my hand, and I play it again. Can I attack two additional times
with my Knight resonator token?
Answer: No. When you want to attack with a J/resonator with [Defiant] (X), you have to check how many times that J/resonator has attacked that turn, no matter how or when it has attacked. So, as you have already attacked two times with your Knight resonator token, you cannot attack more times in that specific situation.
Vestige of Velmardia’s Grace (ESD2-022)
Question: If I control a dual-attribute Light/Fire
J/ruler, if I play the God’s Art ability of this magic stone, can this produce
[W][R]?
Answer: No. You can only produce two wills of an attribute
shared with a J/ruler you control, so, you will be able to produce [W][W] or
[R][R].
Pusiel, Archangel of Purity (DRC-008)
Question: Can I chase the God’s Art ability of this
resonator?
Answer: No. The “Players cannot chase to this card or its
abilities.” Ability of Pusiel is a base ability, and it is applied in all
areas. Check rule 904.2c for more information.
Slime of the Eternal Infestation (DRC-046)
Question: If I control two copies of this resonator, my
magic stones will produce an additional [V][V] when I rest them to produce
will?
Answer: Yes. They are two replacement abilities that can
happen at the same time, one after the other.
Question: When it says “Put two [+100/+100] counters on
this card for each different card type in my graveyard, if I control three
resonator cards, one addition/rune card and one warden card in my graveyard, I
put twelve [+100/+100] counters on this card?
Answer: No. You put two [+100/+100] counters one time for
each different card type in your graveyard, being the card types “ruler”, “J-ruler”,
“sub-ruler”, “magic stone”, “resonator”, “chant”, “addition”, “regalia”,
“rune”, “order”, “warden” or “extension rule”. If a card has two card types,
you can count that card one time for each card type.
Important: Not all of
these card types can be found in the graveyard during a game.
So, in that situation,
you put two [+100/+100] counters one time for the resonator, two [+100/+100]
counters one time for the addition, two [+100/+100] counters one time for the
rune, and two [+100/+100] counters one time for the warden. So, you put eight
[+100/+100] counters in total.
First-Class Cook, Larinca (DRC-063)
Question: I lose 1000 life when I don’t remove fruit
counters, or when I don’t put [+100/+100] counters on a resonator?
Answer: The structure of the text of certain abilities is
“Trigger condition >>> Effect. If yes, X. If no, Y.”. So, in this
situation, the trigger condition is “At the end of your turn”. The effect is
“Remove a fruit counter from this card.”. The “if yes, X” section is everything
before the dot, so “If you do, put two [+100/+100] counters on this card and on
one resonator, then if you put counters on a resonator this way, draw a card.”.
The “if no, Y” section is everything behind the dot, so “Otherwise, you lose
1000 life.”. You can apply this structure for other cards with similar
structure.
If you don’t fulfil
the effect (removing a fruit counter from Larinca), you lose 1000 life.
Hollow, Crystalline Doppelganger (DRC-084)
Question: If I use the activate ability of Hollow to
transform it into another resonator, and after that in a different turn, I use
the activate ability again to transform it into another different resonator,
will it have the abilities of both resonators it has been transformed in?
Answer: No. If a card "becomes a copy" of another,
it becomes the original card. It always makes the same object without any
continuous effects on them. This is a continuous effect that change information.
So, it will not have the abilities of the previous resonator, as it will become
a the new one, without any information of being the previous one. Check rule
1017.5 for more information.
Question: And it gains multiple times the abilities of
Hollow?
Answer: No, as it first becomes the chosen resonator, and
then gains the abilities that its original card had.
Question: And if the chosen resonator has «Mythic»,
should I move to the graveyard one of them?
Answer: Yes, as Hollow copies the original card, including
«Mythic» and the name, so, they both will be a resonator with «Mythic» sharing
a name with another resonator with «Mythic».
Eternal Pact with Barust (DRC-092)
Question: If I want to use this extension rule, can I put
four copies of Duke of Disaster, Barust, into my deck?
Answer: No, as the Eternal Pact with Barust speficies that
you have to play exactly three, no more, no less.
Eternal Pact with Python (DRC-095)
Question: Who is Caelth? That ruler is not in Descent
into the Raven’s Catacombs.
Answer: She is one of the students of the Raven’s Order.
Read the lore articles in the official website if you want to know more about
Ezold, Caelth or Threvn, characters that appear mentioned in the Extension
Rules of Descent into the Raven’s Catacombs.
Question: Wil they appear in the future as rulers? Will
they have their own pacts? Will the other demons that represent the seven
deadly sins will appear in the future?
Answer: Yes! Ezold, Caelth and Threvn will appear very soon
as rulers, and they will have their own pacts with the remaining archdemons,
completing the eight deadly sins. Oh, and don’t worry, the five student
rulers of Descent into the Raven’s Catacombs will be able to make pacts with
these new archdemons too.
Starting Ruler – Rules update
Question: I have checked the Floor Rules, and it says “Players may not
exchange their starting ruler”. Does that mean that I cannot change any of my rulers between games during a
match?
Answer: Depends. It is explained in depth in rule 402.2.
402.2. Each player prepares one ruler card. This
ruler is the "starting ruler" of that player and will keep this
status for that entire match, even through any kind of area movement, and even
if somehow its information becomes hidden. Any ruler without the starting ruler
status is considered a "non-starting ruler" for that entire match.
Players cannot choose ruler cards with the Arcana race as their starting ruler
or Basic Ruler cards as their starting ruler. If rulers with [Tag] or [Partner]
are used, up to three ruler cards can be prepared, following the specific rules
of these rulers, but the player would have to specify which one of their rulers
is the “starting ruler”.
So, if you begin the
game with one ruler, that ruler will be your “starting ruler”, and you will not
be able change with another ruler from your sideboard between games during a
match.
But if you begin the
game with two or more rulers, you will have to specify which one is your
“starting ruler”, and, between games during that match, you won’t be able to
change that ruler with a ruler in your sideboard, but you will be able to
change any other ruler.
So, if your starting
rulers are “Aristella, Twin Prince” and “Child of the Darkness Moon”, if you
choose as starting ruler “Aristella, Twin Prince”, you will be able to change “Child
of the Darkness Moon” for “Child of the Wind Moon”.
But, if your starting
ruler is “Helen, the Witch of Forgotten Memories”, as you should choose her as
“starting ruler”, you won’t be able to change her for, let’s say, “Queen of the
Eternal Eclipse, Giotto Sansta”.
