I'll second the question about whether we can order these and specify that it get added to Vengeance when it ships. Ditto with an extra set of round (HP) counters.
It's interesting to note how this ruling changes the battle against Advanced Warlord Voss. Since his starting side reduces damage dealt "by hero targets" rather than "to villain targets", under the old ruling, it instantly negated this entire class of cards ("No soup Solar Flare for you!"). They are now usable in that match again, so Voss takes a tiny downtick in difficulty as a result.
I'm quite curious about this myself. I'll gladly pay a penny (or even 100 times that with a whole dollar) to have updated cards come with my Vengeance or GSF shipment.
Matchstickman, a quick question -- which printing does the EE box you have with the corrected cards say it is? (My recently acquired box specifically says "Second Printing," and I'm trying to figure out whether I need to budget for replacement cards at some point in the future.)
Looking at the barcode on the front of the box it says second printing, but unless you bought the game from Leisure Games on or after the UK day you definitely do not have the same print run as I have. >G specifically emergency shipped 12 copies from China to the UK for the day. I do not believe that the copies at Essen were from that print run either (though that is speculation on my part to do with shipping stuff from both the US and China to Essen being prohibitively expensive, I could be wrong).
Yeah, my copy was US acquired, but around the same time as Essen. I'll check wording later today, then.
I wouldn't expect $0.01 to break your budget in any case! (Of course there is also shipping.)
The only 12 games that have ever been available for sale to date with the new wording were shipped to Leisure Games. If you did not ultimately get your copy of Enhanced Edition from Leisure Games in the past two weeks, you do not have the new wording on your cards.
got it. Thanks!
(If I tried to place the order now-ish, would it be possible to have the cards shipped with Vengeance?)
Then definitely not.
The US copies were still in China at that point (and probably still are!).
Ah... So you can't use Ra's Flesh of the Sun God + Imbued Fire combo to make these cards "free" anymore? That's definitely going to set back Ra's usefulness...
Not as much as you might think. Solar Flare can still be used as a "one-shot" of sorts. If you have Drawn to the Flames in play with the Staff, play Solar Flare, then use DttF to deal all non-hero targets 3 damage at least + 1 more for each villain ongoing. You can still benefit from the card even if you do not keep it in play indefinatly. Ra doesn't need the old super combo to be a damage power house. He still does that better than most.
Question, if I buy a new copy of sentinels base game from Amazon right now, is it rule 15 compliant?
I believe Amazon is not currently Rule 15 compliant.
Their purchase info should read: "If 39.99 plus shipping is paid, receive one Copy of Sentinels of the Multiverse Enhanced Edition."
I checked their erata, but it didn't say anything, so I don't think they are up on their current rulings. I E-Mailed their IT department with a link to Spiff's PDF, hopefully they update in time for the combined Rook City/Infernal Relics realease.
For a while you are not going to know what you're getting until you open the box (unless you buy direct from >G), there are going to be both errataed and unerrataed copies floating in the supply chain, that's just the nature of the distribution chain. There's no scenario where a mass recall is an improvement for Sentinels (or >G) over just letting the unerrataed copies sell out first.
Will it be possible to somehow get the erratted card pack added into our vengeance shipments? I know thats more to check off but won't everyone who ordered be assumed to have the old version already and need these?
