What if there are two adjacent rays?
In fact, what if two Manta Rays are separated with only one space?
**I AM NOT AD TIENZUSTORM**
No Manta Rays:
Two Manta Rays, 0 spaces apart.
RED Manta Ray is on position
1 (1st card played),
BLUE Manta Ray is on position
4 (4th card played). Purple is where the hexes overlap.
Where
Blue overlaps with
Red, I would suggest that
Blue takes priority, because it's likely to be the most recent card played and it has a higher position on the field. So
Blue takes the damage for positions
1, 3,
4, 9, 13, 17 and 21.
Red takes the damage for 5, 14 and 18. However, by this logic all damage to
Red Manta Ray would be relegated to
Blue Manta Ray. I guess this "Manta Chaining" could lead to some very interesting deck techniques involving many Manta Rays and repeatedly Blessing or Stone Skinning the one with the highest position, but it doesn't realistically make sense.
Two Manta Rays, 1 space apart. Colour key thingy is same as before, except
Blue Manta Ray is on position
3.
Red covers positions
1, 4, 5, 9, 14, 18, and 21.
Blue covers positions
3, 4, 7, 8, 13, 17, and 20. They're both fighting for control of position 4, and because
Blue has the higher position, it gets the honour of taking 4's damage. Wait, that's a bad thing. No "Manta Chaining" occurs here.
Obviously I'm not AD Tienzustorm so this is just random speculation really. Should AD contradict me with his ideas (because it's his card and not mine and I've totally hijacked this post) I will put everything in a spoiler and label it as Bad. Also, don't Quote this post because it's a lot of BBCode and you don't want it in your reply.
