Frontal Assault Question
Blooded Sand
the giggles, can someone please confirm for me:
Does this card stack?
Cos if it does, I have some truly horrible ideas brewing in my head
right now....
Multi master phase deck, 3 FR in play, fame, TitR, Dragonbound, With
Votes
Obviously this is going to be Bru\!Bru, for votability, or Nos\!Nos
Smack many minions, gain pool, prey lose pool. Call perpetual care.
Ouch....
Probably Bru as 2nd trad for keeping the buggers in Torpor is very
useful

Sure, good luck lining that up.

Thanks for the sarcasm, however, my question is still: Does this card
stack?

You're Welcome, there's plenty where that came from. :)
I believe they stack as there is no card text nor rulings to indicate
that they don't

yup. And for NRA purposes the rush actions are different too, i think.

err. lot of moving parts. Probably better with the nos princes of group 1
with for. better intercept and they can play freak drive and attack again.
That's probably the best use for Frontal Assault: to add it in an intercept
combat deck. Or maybe an Edged Illusion deck, because the card doesn't
specify how your prey's vampires must go to torpor/get burned.

Correct.

Put this card in play. Each ready minion you control may enter combat
with any minion controlled by your prey as a (D) action. You gain 1
pool each time a ready minion controlled by your prey is burned or sent
to torpor. During your influence phase, burn this card and burn 1 pool
for each ready minion controlled by your prey.

How does an Intercept Combat deck put its prey's minions into torpor
during its own Minion phase? By giving up on the "Intercept" part?

nice in an intercept combat deck, to clear you hand of combat cards)
but adding 4 (or so) FA in a deck. Not usable if you're playing a
rotschreck deck, but, for ex, an animalism intercept deck could use it.
And because, you're playing intercept, the vamps you put in torpor
never come out again, unless rescued cross table.

If I understood Gregory's post correctly, the issue was that your
intercept combat deck is already blocking your prey's actions and
sending the vampires to torpor, so why would you include Frontal
Assault?
If you're using intercept to get into combat, your deck isn't diluted
with rush actions to start with.

I was mostly checking to see if he was misreading the card. It's
possible he (like some others) misinterpreted when Frontal Assault did
its damage. An Intercept Combat deck could make a great deal of use out
of FA: Having blocked all of its prey's actions and weakened all of its
prey's minions, it plays FA during its Master Phase, rushing and
torporizing many of its prey's minions. It then plays Dragonbound
during its Discard Phase as the coup de grace.

But maybe, it can help those decks that don't have acces to eagle sight-like
effects.

On the rare occasion that I play intercept combat, I usually add a couple of
rush actions. Helps to clear your hand of combat cards, when people stop
acting. Or helps to draw the next eagle sight when they only do D-actions.
