Well, actually my first game (Omnitron in Time Cataclysm) was fairly straight-forward, it's the second one I want to ask about (Akash'Bhuta in the Final Wasteland; it's nightmarish). Firstly, Primeval Eruption was played when there was only one card in the hero deck; should you shuffle it before revealing cards? And secondly, if a card deals damage to multiple targets ('all targets except itself', in this case), can you use Twist The Ether to raise the damage dealt to villains while lowering the amount dealt to heroes?
1) No. You reveal cards from the deck. If the deck runs out while revealing, oh well, sucks to be as primal agent of destruction.
2) Yes. Each instance of damage is a new chance for Twist the ether to play with the laws of physics.
Excellent, I played everything correctly :D Another question, on Iron Legacy this time: If Final Evolution (When this card enters play, IR deals each non-villain target 1 toxic damage) is one of his setup cards, do you damage the heroes or not?
Don't see why not.
On the subject of Akash'Bhuta, can I just check something? On her starting side, when a villain target enters play you discard an Environment card. If at this point there aren't any Environment cards 'cause they're all in the trash, therefore you shuffle the trash in order to discard one...but shuffling the trash causes Akash'Bhuta to flip, at which point you no longer need to discard a card because now you do so when her stuff is destroyed. Therefore I've been playing it that I shuffle the Environment and flip Akash'Bhuta, and then don't bother discarding a card because her card text no longer tells me to. Is that right or should I discard anyway?
Yes you would still discard a card, since that was already something that was activated prior to her flipping. The whole reason you have to reshuffle is because you have to discard a card, if you didn't have to discard then you wouldn't reshuffle. At teh same time if you don't reshuffle you will still ahve to discard a card, which would intern trigger a shuffle. It creates an insane rift that will destroy the fabric of space and time! So yeah discarding is still required since it was already stated that it needed to be done.
One last question: Can 'destroy an environment card' effects destroy environment targets?
of course. they are environment cards. (what type of card is determined by its Back - if it has an environbment name on its back its an environment card, a villian back a villain card, ect - if it has another picture with more abilities of some kind, its a character card ;)
That's what I figured, but it felt unfair somehow. Thanks for the clarification!
One card defies this though, Kismet's Talisman is double-sided but is not a character card.
Actually, it is - someone asked about that a few days or so ago, and it was confirmed that it is a character card, since the definition of a character card is one which has a "special" back/can be flipped :).
Actually, I think the official ruling is that it is a character card.
Correct. See this thread.
