Can this card be played before a Critical Hit Check on a creature? (C/Q) 2006-12-11 01:35:29

Q: Let's say an opponent is attacking my Giant Spider. Can I wait until he's made his first roll, see if he gets any hits, then play this card to effect the second roll where he needs only Green Banners?

A: No, you cannot. The card must be played before your opponent's attack dice roll (ie when he is looking for hits, not when he re-rolls to check whether any potential hit made is a critical one).

Can “Blur” prevent a Critical Hit on the second dice roll? (C/Q) 2006-12-19 17:11:12

The Giant Spider is attacked by an infantry unit, and “Blur” is played on it. On the first roll, the infantry rolls two bonus hits and no green banner colors. The two bonus hits are rerolled, and now one green banner shows up.

Q: Does the Spider survive (because it can ignore one banner color), or is it dead (because Blur only applied to the first roll, or because the banner color roll on the second roll is not consider a "hit")?

A: No, the Blur only applies to the Attack dice roll, not the re-roll to check whether a hit becomes critical. In the above example, the Spider dies when the green banner is obtained on the re-roll.

Clarification on the meaning of "battle phase" (C/Q) 2007-08-26 16:40:31

Q: Blur/Agility may only be played during attack rolls upon a unit - meaning during normal battle phases and those that arise during particular lore cards that cause an attack to take place outside the normal course of a turn, Sneak Attack as one example. Blur/Agility are of no use, or better said, cannot even be played in response to other types of rolls, Creeping Doom as one example. Is this correct?

A: Your interpretation is correct.

Can “Blur” be used to cancel a Bonus Strike? (C/Q) 2007-10-07 14:55:45

Q: Does "Target may ignore 1 banner color hit" mean that it works only with blue, red or green banner and bonus strike hit still counts?

A: Correct. A bonus strike will still score a hit, when applicable. The Blur only deflects a banner color hit, not a bonus strike.
