This questions has probably been asked a few times around here but I probably missed it..sorry!

Archangel's text reads:

X-Men attackers with flight you control cannot be stunned while attacking a defender without flight or range.

without flight OR range... doesn't that mean that the only characters that can stunned an attacking archangel would be characters with BOTH? because of the word "or", at long at one of the criteria is met then it is fulfilled isn't it?

your buddy from here delidgamond and i were discussing this the other day cause he said Dr.Doom can stun archangel because he has range but i didn't agree because he lacked flight fulfilling the "without flight" part. was there a specific ruling that came out or was he errated? thx peeps

Characters with flight and/or range can stun X-Men attackers with flight.

Characters with neither range nor flight cannot.

If that was true then wouldn't the wording be "without flight AND range" meaning both conditions must be met so that the X-men wouldn't get stunned? Beacuse it says "or", they X-men should not be stunned if the defender lacks 1 of the 2 characteristics.

From the WOS FAQ:

I think you may have added a word.

The text says "or" not "and/or". Inclusion of "and" changes the application.

To my reading it sounds as if only characters with flight AND range can stun an X-man.

If a defender doesn't have flight and range, they can't. If a defender only has flight, they can't. If a defender only has range, they can't.

Were I to turn the statement into programming code, I think it would render the above results.

Programming, it has been shown, means nothing to the cards.

Archangel can be read either way.

The FAQ clarrifies how he is to be read.

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Archangel refers to a character without either flight or range, not "a character without flight or a character without range."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like as not, only defenders without both flight and range cannot stun X-Men attackers with flight.

That's what UDE has ruled.

I stand corrected. ;]

where can i find the lastest FAQ for cards? =)

Check my sig.
