I have had a few questions from the new set on some wording and other things and I'll compile all of them in this thread.

1. The New Team Ups:
Ex: The Insiders Cost 2
Play only if you control an Oustsiders Character

Ongoing: Affiliated character cards you own the Oustsider's Affiliation.

My question is if I have a whole other team affiliation are they now crossed over with the Outsiders, I'm not really sure how to take this card.

2. Hank Henshaw <> Cyborg
Vengance: Whenever Hank Henshaw becomes stunned, choose a name. Search target player's deck for all non-character cards with that name and remove them from the game.

Hank doesn't specifically say to shuffle the deck but it was my understanding that everytime you searched a deck that it was to be shuffled (or at least every card has said to shuffle the deck) Is this the first card that allows you not to shuffle your opponets deck. (It might seem that way)

3. Power Girl <> Nightwing

Team Superman characters you control get +2 DEF during your first attack and defense each turn.

This one should be a bit easier but there was a dispute with one of the other player's that was playing. The "your" means the actual player's attack or defense not each characters first attack or defense.

Thanks in advance

1)All characters you own get the affiliation. The two are not crossed over they just gain outsiders

2) If is implied that you will shuffle afterwards

3)Correct. Your refers to the player

This looks like a good chance to clear up something that's been confusing me too.

Batzarro, World’s Worst Detective

Arkham Inmates
Reservist. Batzarro can’t attack. Insanity: Batzarro can’t not attack instead.

Anyone know the difference between Batzarro's regular and insanity effect?Or is it just a bad joke?

His Insanity text was just worded that way to make it sound more "Bizarro"-ish.

In the FAQ document, it is stated that his Insanity text should read: "Batzarro can attack instead."

In no way is Batzarro forced to attack each turn.

Hm,I guess that works.Thanks for clearing that up.

1 Batzarro ftw!

Few questions about Betrayal of Trust. When you remove the team attacker from the attack does it still count towards the effect of Dr. Light? Does the character's attack still count towards the team attack? Can the character still be stunned?

Yes.
No.
No.

Yes it counts for D.Light because at the time the attack was made legal it was a team attack. The other two portions are no as the character was removed from the attack and though it may still be a one person team attack the removed character is neither helping or getting beat up in the process.

Should be right. Correct me please if someone thinks I am wrong or knows something I don't. Cheers!

PD

I'm not too sure I understand your question but I'll try to answer.

Once you propose a team attack and its declared legal then the characters gain the team attacker trait. They retain the Team Attacker trait even if they are removed from the attack but they dont add thier attack value to the team attack. Like-wise they cant be stunned if they have been removed from the attack.

As far as Kimiyo Hoshi<>Dr. Light. I think her text would take effect stunning a non-defender and then Betrayal of Trust could remove her or another team-attacking character. But I would defer to one of the rule authorities that will tell you for sure.

Ah thanks, I that covers just about everything

Technically when a Team attacker is removed it loses both the attacker and Team attacker characteristic.

The answer that Pirate Devon gave is correct for the most part, When the team attack is made legal, then you may (key word) choose to stun a character with cost less than the total number of team attackers you control. however if you were to play BoT before the resolution of the effect then you'd probably not get to count that character as a team attacker.

So, in conclusion. Make your attack let Dr. Light resolve, then play BoT to remove and ready the team attacker of your choice.

Confirming lotusprime's post---removing a character from an attack makes him lose any and all of the attacker, team attacker, and defender characteristics. Practically speaking, that character isn't any of those things after being removed.

I think rbelong2us was just getting mixed up over the old Teen Titans Go issue---characters who are currently team attacking and characters who are removed from team attacks will be readied by TTG, since they did team attack.

And since Kimiyo Hoshi's effect has the number of characters as a targeting restriction, the number gets checked twice. Once when you first choose your target, and again when the effect resolves. If you play Betrayal of Trust before Kimiyo Hoshi's effect resolves, that's one less attacker you get to count; same thing if the opponent manages to get rid of any of your attackers. So you want your attackers to stay attacking until her effect resolves, and then you can play Betrayal of Trust safely.

The Insiders, Team-Up
2 Plot Twist
Play only if you control an Outsiders character. Ongoing: Affiliated character cards you own gain the Outsiders affiliation.
DWF-117 C

So this only applies to character cards and not characters? So when I have Samantha Parrington in my hand, she has the Outsiders affiliation. When I recruit her and she's on the field, she doesn't have the Outsiders affiliation?

When a character enters play, it doesn't stop being a character card---characters are also character cards, by definition.

Also, since it is worded "cards you own" it refers to any character that started the game in your deck, regardless of zone or controller
