Forum:Earthbound Immortal Questions

Okay, I checked the rulings page for Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu (EI), but it just made me even more confused because it contradicts the judge rulings I got during the pre-release tournament.

1: The rules page says that your opponent cannot attack you directly if the only monster you control is an EI. Is this true?

2: The rules page also says that an EI will not die if a player replaces the field spell the opponent controls, however an EI will die if a player replaces a field spell that they control. Could you clarify how / why is there any difference or distinction between these two actions? Does it have to do with turn players and priority or something?

3: EIs all begin with the text, "There can only be 1 face-up EI monster on the field." My question then is: how does this effect actually work? Is it similar to the rulings of field spells in the sense that only 1 can be on the field, and the newest EI played sends the older one directly to the grave? Or does it instead mean that once an EI hits the field, it must first be destroyed/face-down before another EI can be summoned.

4: EIs additionally all have the text, "If there is no face-up Field Spell Card, destroy this card." My question is, can you normal summon an EI while controlling no field spell, and then chain to its destroy effect? Let's use this hypothetical:

My opponent controls 2 face-down spell cards and 5 monsters. I control 2 monsters and an Icarus Attack set. I tribute summon my EI Aslla Piscu, then I chain to its destroy effect using Icarus Attack, tributing the EI and targeting the two set spell cards. Because EI Aslla Piscu was removed from the field by Icarus Attack, Piscu's effect of destroying all monsters then gets put onto the chain. Piscu's effect was last on the chain, so it resolves first, destroys all monsters, then Icarus Attack resolves and destroys the two set spell cards.

This is how I understand the EI Aslla Piscu scenario to play out, but I would like confirmation on this since it is not in the rulings. 97.115.121.235 07:01, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Momo
