Battle Kings Rule Clarifications
Question: If the Equalizer is on top after drawing during my Stage 3, is my turn over?
Answer: No. If you can attack from your hand, you may do so, or you can choose to equalize the deck, then move to Stage 4. If you are required to draw a card (such as the result of a 2/2, 4/4, 6/6 spells or an Ace) your turn will end if you draw the Equalizer.
Question: What does the Echo undead minion do for the minions with identifiers of 1 through 5?
Answer: The Echo will add its value to the minion’s total HP for all other minions. Additionally an Echo will affect the other undead minions in the following ways: 1 (Ghoul): Increase HP earned to 6. 2 (Skeleton Warrior): Increase shield value to 6. 3 (Skeleton Archer) Increase attack damage to 6. 4 (Skeleton Mage) Player can make a second roll if the first failed. 5 (Wight): May add 2 cards instead of 1. 6 (Lich): An Echo cannot mimic a Lich's abilities but it will increase the Lich's total HP value. Thus, placing the 0/6 Echo on the 6/6 Lich will give him 18 HP.
Question: Can the Echo undead minion be used to fill a spot even if there isn't another minion there?
Answer: Yes. It can be placed on any empty minion slot, other than the Lich, so you can gain the benefits.
Question: When the deck is equalized, do we have to shuffle ALL of the cards, or just those in the discard pile.
Answer: Yes, ALL cards must be shuffled anytime the deck is equalized, even those in player hands.
Question: The King of Spades has +3 damage (and shield) from the start. I attacked with a king battle card and took my domino, but do I still cause 3 damage to my target?
Answer: No. The cards that do not inherently cause damage, don't gain the damage benefits by themselves. However, lets say as a result of the king, you draw the 2/2 domino (Wrath spell). This lets you immediately draw 2 cards against your target. If any of those cards adds damage to the attack, yes, you will then add your +3 modifier.
Question: I started with the King of Spades, so he starts with +3 damage bonus. I played a king battle card and drew my domino. Does that 3 damage still affect my target?
Answer: No. Attack modifiers only modify damage. By themselves, Kings, Queens and Jokers do not gain damage modifiers. Example: If, as a result of your King, you draw a 2/2: Wrath, 4/4: Death's Shadow, or 6/6: The Final Toll spell, those will allow you to draw additional cards. If any of those cards are damage cards, you can add your modifier. Example 2: A Jack still causes 1d6 damage after it is used to break a shield. Your modifier will increase the roll by 3.
Question: If the Equalizer is on top after drawing during my Stage 3, is my turn over?
Answer: No. If you can attack from your hand, you may do so, or you can choose to equalize the deck, then move to Stage 4. If you are required to draw a card (such as the result of a 2/2, 4/4, 6/6 spells or an Ace) your turn will end if you draw the Equalizer.
