War of the Elements™ Frequently Asked Questions
Updated March 31, 2011
Compiled by Edwin Teh, with contributions from Dave DeLaney, Jennifer Dery, and Simon Key
This set is legal for sanctioned Constructed play from April 26, 2011.
1. Rules updates
1.1 Talents
* From War of the Elements forward, new heroes will no longer have the Talent restriction, and Talents will now look like this:
Arcane Talent (You can’t put Fire Talents or Frost Talents in your deck.)
* Talents are neither keywords nor powers; they are text and deckbuilding restrictions.
* A deck can include cards of one talent, only if it contains no cards of any other talent.
* Heroes from previous sets with a printed Talent can include only that kind of Talent in their decks. Traitor heroes can’t include any Talents in their deck.
* Talents from previous sets will be considered to have this new Talent text, instead of their old “(Talent) Hero Required” text.
1.2 Totems
* From War of the Elements forward, all Totems will work the same way.
* All Totems are now “Ability Ally” and count as both card types.
- Cards that interact with abilities will treat Totems as abilities in all zones.
- Cards that interact with allies will treat Totems as allies in all zones.
* Most previous rules for Totems have been removed. The only rule for all Totems is:
- Totems can’t attack.
* Totems from previous sets will be considered to have “Ability Ally”, 0 ATK, and a damage type.
2. Specific cards
Agonizing Poison, 1, Rogue, Instant Ability—Assassination Poison
Attach to target hero or ally that was dealt combat damage by your hero this turn. <p> Ongoing: At the start of your turn, your hero deals 3 nature damage to attached character if its controller has four or fewer cards in his hand.
This triggered effect resolves before your draw step. Count cards in that player’s hand as it resolves.
Arcane Barrage, 3, Mage, Ability—Arcane
Arcane Talent (You can’t put Fire Talents or Frost Talents in your deck.) <p> This ability can’t be interrupted.
Your hero deals 4 arcane damage to target hero or ally. <p> You may play this ability from your graveyard. As you do, the next time it would enter a graveyard from anywhere, remove it from the game instead.
A link is interrupted if all of its targets have become illegal as it tries to resolve, even if it “can’t be interrupted.”
If you play this from your graveyard, it’s removed from the chain as it resolves or is interrupted.
