Absorbing Man Ol' Ball and Chain Clarifications
Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:45 pm
Absorbing Man Ol' Ball and Chain card text states:
While Absorbing Man is active, when a "when fielded" effect is used, you may use a copy of it.
1. Regarding characters that have a when field and a while active effect (Shriek Sonic Beam, Blob Appetite for Destruction, Morph Change of Heart, etc.) Would Absorbing man copy both the when fielded and while active effect?
2. If he copies the while active ability, does his die also maintain the effect or is the effect maintained by the originally fielded die?
3. Does Absorbing Man lose his previous copied ability when multiple when fielded effects occur? For example, if I field a Shriek Sonic Beams on my turn, triggering an additional blanking effect. My opponent fields Blob Appetite for Destruction on their turn, would Absorbing Man keep the Shriek effect and trigger the Blob effect or lose the Shriek effect and trigger the Blob effect?
4. For the purposes of game effects, when Absorbing Man's ability is triggered by a when fielded character ability, would the effect from an opponent's Absorbing Man be considered a "When fielded" ability and therefore be prevented by Madame Masque Nefaria's Schemes who While Madam Masque is active, your opponent's "When fielded" abilities do not trigger?
