Cryptid Nation

  • Antimagic Field (CN 82/159)

    • If I contract Antigmagic Field by flipping it face-up when an opposing Caster Contracts a Spell, does that Spell still resolve?
      • Yes, that Spell would still resolve. This is because Antimagic Field prevents Spells from being Contracted, but does not stop Spells from resolving. Because the Spell that Antimagic Field was Contracted in response to has already been Contracted, it would still resolve.

 

  • Beast of Busco (CN 31/59)

    • Can you use Hungry Crypto and rotate your hand while Placing the bottom of your palm on Beast of Busco?
      • No you cannot, Hungry Crypto states that you must place the bottom of your palm on the top of the Page and does not state you may rotate it.

      • No, Beast of Busco would not deal Terra bonus Damage if Lake Terra is active as the damage would only pertain to attacks.

      • Yes, All Pages may be Fatigued to the left or the right 90°

      • Yes you may, until you place your fingers on the target. Once you have placed a finger touching another Page you may not move it to another Page.
    • May I use Beast of Busco's Hungry Crypto Power and place my hand facing the Opposing Caster instead of facing in the Direction of Beast of Busco?
      • No, When you place your hand on Beast of Busco the Bottom of your palm must remain flat to the top of the Page. This will require you to place your hand in the same facing Direction of Beast of Busco when using Hungry Crypto.

    • Can Pages that cannot be affect by other Pages (i.e., Grafton Monster, Grim Reaper, ect.) be affected by Flood the Earth, since the Spell has "cannot be prevented"?
      • No. A Page that cannot be affected by an effect is not stopping that effect from resolving. "Cannot be prevented" only considers effects that stop another Page from resolving.

    • If I contract Flood the Earth and select the second Effect, can I Contract Dampen before may Flood the Earth resolves?
      • Yes, Flood the Earth's effect checks when you first Contract the Page to make sure it is a valid play, then again when it resolves to make sure it is still valid. When resolving, Flood the Earth recognizes you've already Contracted a Page this turn, and would have no effect because the Contract requirements cannot be met.
    • If I Contract Flood the Earth and blow Loveland Frogman a kiss, am I allowed to then Contract a second Flood the Earth choosing the Board Wipe effect?
      • Yes, Flood the Earth's "once per game" stipulation would affect Loveland Frogman instead of you. This would allow you to Contract a second Flood the Earth in the same game.
    • If I Contract First Anniversary Celebration and then Contract Flood the Earth after, would all Beasties with Flight in the Arena be destroyed?
      • No, Flood the Earth checks for Beasties that have the Flight trait. First Anniversary Celebration would nullify the effects of Flight, however, that Beastie would still retain the trait.

 

  • Graveyard's Mud (NF 87/163)

    • What does it mean for a Beastie to gain a Tribe?
      • When a Beastie gains a Tribe, it adds it to its existing Tribe(s); that Beastie retains its original Tribe. For example, if you were to Contract Graveyard's Mud and choose Cactus Cat as the target, Cactus Cat would be considered both a Beastie Fearsome Critter AND a Beastie Zombie.

 

  • Grim Reaper (NF 1/163)

      • The Pages would still resolve, however nothing would affect Grim Reaper as Grim Reaper cannot be affected by other Pages.

      • Yes, you may declare Defenders against a Caster's declaration of an Attack with Grim Reaper.
    • Will Intergalactic Space Council prevent Grim Reaper's win condition?

  • Momo (NF 12/163)

    • Does Momo's Fouth Wall trigger when the card "Jack-o-lantern" is in the arena?

  • New Beginnings (NF 9/12)

    • What happens if a Caster Contracts New Beginnings when I have Pages that cannot be affected by Spells (i.e., Grim Reaper, Grafton Monster, etc.)
      • Pages that cannot be affected by Spells would still be affected by New Beginnings (therefore, shuffled back into their Caster's Spellbook). This is because New Beginnings affects a Chapter rather than a specific Page.

 

  • Possession (NF 121/163)

    • I Contract Possession to take control of one of my opponent's Beasties, and it was Destroyed while under my control. Does this Beastie go to my Limbo?
      • No, when Pages are sent to zones such as the Limbo, Cemetery, or Afterlife, they will always be placed int heir owner's respective zone. The owner of a Page is the Caster that brings it to the game. The Beastie you took control of will go it its owner's Limbo when Destroyed.
    • I Contract Possession on one of my opponent's Beasties that has 3 Burn Counters on it. Will it still be burned under my control?
      • Yes, when a Caster takes control of another Beastie, that Beastie will retain all Damage, Status Effects, and Effects already placed on the Beastie.

  • Sinister Shadows (NF 47/163)

    • I have already Contracted Sinister Shadows once this game, placing 4 tokens named Ludwig into the Arena. If I target a non-Token Beastie named Ludwig with another Sinister Shadows will it count all the tokens named Ludwig as well?
      • Yes, Sinister Shadows only says the target must be a non-token Beastie. It would create tokens equal to all Beasties in the Arena with the same name as the targeted Beastie including tokens.

 

  • Smokey Spirits (NF 51/163)

    • My opponent declares an Attack and I Contract Smokey Spirits immediately after. Does any Damage get dealt?
      • No, Smokey Spirits will end combat without finishing the remaining steps. Any Beastie that declared an Attack does not Attack and remains fatigued.
    • If an opponent declares an Attack against a Beastie I control with a face-down Trap Page under it, and I Contract a Smokey Spirit, does my Trap Page flip-up?
      • Yes, due to the way Combat works. After a Beastie has declared an attack against a Beastie, Trap Pages under that Beastie must automatically flip up. Afterwards, the Caster controlling that Attacked Beastie has priority to Contract a Smokey Spirits.
    • Can I use the Effect(s) of Smokey Spirits using a Copy Cup that was flipped-as a face-down Trap Page?
      • Yes, since as long as Combat as been declared Smokey Spirits can end Combat. Smokey Spirits' initial Contract condition allows it to be Contracted after an opposing Beastie has declared attack, but does not mention it must ONLY be Contracted after an opposing Beastie as declared an attack.

 

  • The Red Ghost (NF 17/163)

    • When I Contract The Red Ghost and put target Spirit Beastie into play, do I need to pay the Aura of the Target Beastie?

  • Thunderbird (NF 15/163)

    • Will Thunderbird's ARENA Effect check for Lightning Aura Spells I've Contracted before I Contracted Thunderbird?
      • Yes. For example, if you Contracted Lightning Bolt and then Contracted Thunderbird, the Arena effect will still trigger as you have Contracted a Lightning Spell on your turn.
  • Unlucky Potion (NF 122/163)

    • If an Unlucky Potion I Contracted resolves when a Loveland Frogman uses its Power, which Status Effects does Unlucky Potion affect?
      • Because multiple Status Effects are being inflicted, the Caster who Contracted Unlucky Potion chooses which one Status Effect becomes affected by Unlucky Potion
    • How does Unlucky Potion interact with Pages like Morpheus or Loveland Frogman, which say their Effects are automatically considered heads unless an effect would say otherwise?
      • Con Flips and Die Rolls that are influenced by Effects take the most recent change that has affected them. So if an Unlucky Potion is Contracted in response to a Morpheus and no other Effects resolve, Unlucky Potion may change the coin flip Morpheus.

 

  • Water Baby (NF 126/163)

    • If I Contracted an Ocean Terra Page in the Terra Slots that is still in play, do I Bookmark 1 when Water Baby is Destroyed?
      • Yes, you would Bookmark 1 because once Contracted Terra Pages are not controlled by a Caster.
    • If Water Baby's Aura Type is changed into Flame with Chaos Potion, does Water Baby's DESTROYED effect still resolve?

    • Is damage distributed by Wood Devil of Coos County's attack effect to Wallowa Lake Crustacean halved?
      • Yes, because Wood Devil of Coos County's attack Damage is occurring during Combat. Therefore, it would be considered "Combat Damage"
    • Is damage distributed by Wood Devil of Coos County's attack effect still considered "dealing" damage?
      • Yes, as allocating/distributing damage is considered "dealing" damage.

 

  • Zombie Apocalypse (NF 48/163)

    • What does it mean to replace a card?
      • When a Page states to replace a Page with something else, you will swap whatever the target is for whatever was stated to take its place. You may not choose a new position in the Arena for this new Page and it will enter Fatigued unless stated otherwise.

    General Rules

    • Burrow (Trait)

      • Can you target burrowed Beasties with Potions?
        • Yes.
    • Defender (Trait)

      • If I Contract First Anniversary Celebrations and it Nullifies Defender on a Beastie will that Beasties LP return to the printed Maximum?
        • Yes.
    • Errata:

      • Are errata considered to be attached to all reprints/copies of a Page?
        • Yes. If a Page has known errata in any reprinted version, all versions of that Page will be considered to have that errata.
    • Frozen (Status Effect)

      • If a Beastie is inflicted with Frozen during Combar, does that Beastie still resolve its attack?
        • Yes. The Frozen Status Effect does not prevent a Beastie from resolving its Attacks, only from Awakening.

     

    • Paralyze (Status Effect)

      • If a Beastie has already declared an Attack, but has been successfully inflicted with the Paralyze Status Effect after it has already declared an Attack, does combat still occur?
        • Yes, Combat still occurs. Paralyze only stops Beasties from declaring attacks and makes their Attacks' lose their effect deal 0 Damage. Therefore, combat continues, and the Paralyzed Beastie would deal no damage during Combat.

     

    • Tokens

      • What happens when a Beastie Token Page is inflicted with Fear and the coin flip for Fear is heads?
        • Whenever a token leaves the Arena for any reason, it is removed from the game.

     

    • Trap (Trait)

      • If I Contract a Page with the Trap Trait face-down, can I choose to Contract that Page face-up later?
        • No. A face-down Page with the Trap Trait can only be Contracted when that Page is targeted by an Attack or has an Effect that can allow it to be flipped-up.

     

    • Set Specific Mechanics

      • If I contract a Cryptid Nation Spellbook Promo, may I then Contract Gumberoo with a Nightfall set symbol without paying its Aura Cost?
        • Yes. A Page is considered from all sets that it has been printed/re-printed within. Because Gumberoo is printed witha  Nightfall, Wilderness, and Cryptid Nation set symbol, you may use any version of Gumberoo with any specific mechanic for those three sets. Nightfall, Wilderness, and Cryptid Nation Spellbook promos are examples of "Set specific mechanics".

     

    • Placement

      • What is the top and bottom of a Page?
        • A Pages top will always be the side of the Page with its name, and the bottom will always be the side of the Page below the Effect text box. This will remain the same when a Page is Fatigued or not.
