War #5 - Rules

[bogtro]

Do bans apply to support teams, if necessary? For example, if someone bans  and  , and is not picked during general auction, can they be picked for team  's or team  's support teams?

auction bans do not apply to support teams. doubt this will be an issue as very few people have banned an element anyways.

Apologies if it has been asked somewhere in the last 8 pages, but will Seraph and any other new nonshard cards be legal if they are implemented in time to be in War?

If the patch occurs after vaults are built, then the point is moot. If it occurs prior, then I would assume any new non-shards would be fair game.

Rule update:

If there are uneven number of players fighting during a round, the team with the most cards gets the bye, meaning that one player in that team will skip the round.

Will that player on bye be added to the support team for the round?

I was wondering about patch too, and I'd like a definitive answer before War starts. As it stands now, 1.30 may very well be released during war, which most importantly affects Nova/SN. If there is no current answer, teams are really forced to gamble on when 1.30 is coming out, which doesn't seem like a good idea.

If you are concerned about the nova nerf, it won't affect grabbows all that much. You rarely cast more than two novas in the same turn; even if you have 3 in your starting hand, two should be enough since most novabow cards cost 2 quanta to play.

"All that much" != "doesn't change." Even if the change is minor, I'd still like to know what the procedure will be in the event that it happens.

Yes, he will.

In the event that it does happen, war continues as usual. While inconvenient for us, Elements can't revolve around war and Zanz will do as he will. However, I wouldn't rule out an event card to compensate, much like the voodoo doll removal in War 2. Don't take that as a guarantee, however.
