House of Mystery

[madmurdok]

The promo basic action card reads:
"Put all dice in the Field Zone that are the same as another die in the Field Zone into their owner's Used Pile"
My questions are:

Does this action target?

Does this mean that any die in either payer's field that has more than one copy of it will be affected?

Is every die that has more than one copy of it affected, or does the effect only move the copies/multiples of a character to the owner's used? (like... one die remains after the duplicates are moved)

Does this affect both players?

Are dice that are "copying" another die affected?

Are Sidekicks affected by this action?

(1) Does this action target?

No, because the ability affects “all dice”.

(2) Does this mean that any die in either player's field that has more than one copy of it will be affected?

No, the ability affects each player’s Field Zone independently. For example, you initiate House of Mystery and you have 1 Wonder Woman die and your opponent has 1 Wonder Woman die, neither player would be affected (i.e. you couldn’t move your opponent’s Wonder Woman die to their Used Pile). However, if your opponent has 2 Wonder Woman dice, then one of those dice would be moved.

(3) Is every die that has more than one copy of it affected, or does the effect only move the copies/multiples of a character to the owner's used? (like... one die remains after the duplicates are moved)

Only identical dice are affected, one die remains. For example, if you have 3 Sidekicks and 2 Mister Mind dice in your Field Zone, 2 Sidekicks and 1 Mister Mind die would move to your Used Pile, leaving 1 Sidekick and 1 Mister Mind die remaining.

(4) Does this affect both players?

Yes, but within the parameters stated in question 2.

(5) Are dice that are "copying" another die affected?

Dice with the ability stating that die “becomes a copy” of another die (e.g. Doppelganger, Mimic, Morph, Mr. Mxyzptlk or Taskmaster) would be affected by House of Mystery.

(6) Are Sidekicks affected by this action?

Yes, because they are Sidekick Character dice when in the Field Zone. It also affects Action dice and tokens, since the ability does not specify a die type.

Just to clarify, when this action is played, it affects all dice, and doesn't target, but one copy of each die remains?
Who choses which die remains?
What if some dice have applied buffs or effects, does that make them different than other dice?
Again, to reiterate, Die A is identical to Die B, but simultaneously, Die B is identical to A, so wouldn't BOTH dice be "the same as another die" ?

[dmrulesteam]

The affected player chooses which die is moved.

"Same as another die" in this ability is applicable to the die name. It does not distinguish between different stats or effects of the same named dice, as stated in your question.

The intent of this ability is to have one die remaining.
