Spies Feared

[Bandobras Took]

Short Event

Tap a Scout to cancel all effects for the rest of the turn that would duplicate an automatic attack or would make such an attack uncancellable.

[Nerdmeetsyou]

hm.... sure that is nessacary... and why?

maybe make it not for scouts?

[Bandobras Took]

Because:

1) I hate Tidings of Bold Spies+Unabated forcing you to get rid of 4 cancelers in a turn;
2) Forewarned is often used as a hazard to make an uncancellable auto-attack; and
3) I like to limit it to Scouts for thematic reasons; they're the sneaky ones.

it might work, i like it

Unabated doesn't create an uncancellable attack, just one that's more difficult to cancel. This card is situational, and would if worded correctly, would only be used as a sideboard card.

You might add an alternative use?

Maybe reducing an automatic attack to 1 strike (like Veils of Shadow) is a better idea.

[Bandobras Took]

Playable on a company moving to a site with an automatic-attack. This card creates one or more attacks on the company, the total of which duplicates exactly (including modifications) all automatic-attacks at the site.

It wouldn't cancel Unabated. It would cancel the effect of Tidings, which duplicates automatic attacks. One would still have to deal with Unabated at the site, which is fine by me, since that's how Unabated is meant to be used.

[Jambo]

Ah I see. It's still too situational to be used straight up in the play deck though, and by the time you sideboard it across, you will have probably already had to deal with a Tidings/Unabated combo. That is, unless you give it an alternative use.

[Nerdmeetsyou]

yeah... I see there also only potential... if it has an alternative use...

[Ringbearer]

I find it too strong for hobbits. IMHO they are already a NPE, and now you cant even stop them cancelling auto-attacks. At least Tidings gets around Stealth.

[marcos]

agree with bert

NPE

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a NPE?

Could one perhaps say "Tap a scout to cancel an effect which would duplicate an automatic attack or would make such an attack uncancellable and increase the hazard limit by one."
