(LSJ) Power of All question
François
Can Power of All be played during combat ?
In general, reactions that can be played during combat are written as
such, wich is not Power of All's case, but considering what I believe
to be the card's "designer intent", I am wondering...
Thank you !

Yes, just as DI can be played in combat, despite lacking the same wording.

Master cards aren't prohibited from being played in combat though.
Minion cards are, and Power of All is a minion card.
6.4: Note: The only minion cards that can be played during combat are
combat cards (unless a card states otherwise, of course).
The rules prohibit Power of All (and it has no text as referred to by
the rules). The rules do not prohibit DI being played in combat, so it
doesn't need such text.
Additionally, if such text were needed on DI, "If it was a strike card,
the minion chooses another strike" could be taken as a clumsy indication
that it can be played in combat, since there are no strike cards that
aren't combat cards that I can think of. (The rule book seems clear
that strike cards and weapons aren't the same thing, for example.)
Therefore, I think you're wrong. DI has no such text because it doesn't
need it - only other minion cards are prohibited in combat. By 6.4,
Power of All does need it, and does not have it.

Ah, OK.
REVERSAL: Power of All cannot be played during combat.

Interesting..
So 2 anarchs can get together and stop the end of the world,
but can't possibly stop someone from getting punched hard
in the face!
LSJ
Yeah. That's the difference between strategy and tactics.

Right. It's a minion card. The only minion cards playable during combat are
combat cards and as given in card text. Power of All is not a combat card, and
no card text makes it playable in combat.

Impressive LSJ, kudos for the reversal. :) I think a lot of people
might have dug their heels in!
