Deflagration should destroy 7 Bone Walls

[dracomageat]

Exactly. Use "charges" like sundial, dimensional shield and steam machine do.

Playing down a Bonewall is like playing down 7 shields

And it shouldn't be as that breaks the rules.

But it is.

Just because it makes your phoenix rush deck suck at life doesn't mean it should be nerfed.

Plus, it would make gods harder. I used a rainbow deck for a year before switching to RoL/Hope (mainly because Hope hadn't been released) and bonewall saved my life countless times.

Why is this even OP, rules can be rewritten but what's the point just to accommodate one card, I can't see why you're so annoyed with it as it feels fine to me and can be beaten by and mass creature deck. This question should be answered before debating whether deflag should destroy seven.

How many times do I have to state that this is solely a rules issue?

You could make it immaterial for all I care as long as it uses charges.

Why are you so bothered then if you think it's fine. I fail to see the point.

But it doesnt break the rules as it is so there IS NO rule issue. Its been said that it places 1 stack of 7 Shields.

1 bone WALL card lays 7 Bone SHIELDS. Those 7 SHIELDS make up the 1 WALL, so you have to destroy all the SHIELDS before the WALL breaks down.

And it is common knowledge in card games that this is how it goes.
Rules<Cards
The cards always have more influence than the rules itself, as in card games, they are more of guidelines than rules.
. If there was a card that said your opponent loses 7 creature spaces, then that card overwrites the rule of having the normal amount. That does not mean the rule is broken, it means that there is an exception to the guideline. There is nothing wrong with that

Could you please provide a link to a quote by one of the developers where they unequivocally say "There is never to be any stacking in the shield slot, not even if a card says there is, because that would be silly."?
