Good evening everybody, and welcome to tonight's showdown! In one corner, controlled by OmegaGoo, the mad master of manipulation and mechanisms, Malandrax Mecchi!



In the other, with Gutter Owl in the pilot seat, the overwhelming odds-altering operative, Ottavia Six!



Who will win! Time will tell...

We should probably do ante here in the thread. I retain the right to be tricksy with my traps if I so desire!

So Snapback actually prevents me from moving anywhere...

She'll then retreat two spaces. Enjoy the trap!

Alas, I just looked it up, and OmegaGoo is right here.

FAQ posted:

Q: Do "opponents cannot move" restrictions prevent them from being moved by others' effects?

A: Yes. Move means both 'you move' and 'you are moved'.

Yeech. A 7-2 life trade on Turn 1 from a rules misunderstanding. I am not off to a rocking start.
