Ce qui est vraiment dommage c'est qu'il est vraiment difficile d'avoir des certitudes sur les règles de magic. En suivant bêtement ce qui est écrit dans le livret de règles de la 7ème édition on se dit qu'il n'est pas possible de bloquer les cavalier elfes avec l'araignée géante :
"As though
When you see “as though” on a card, it means the card
acts as though it has something it doesn’t. For example,
Giant Spider reads, “may block as though it had flying.”
The Spider doesn’t really have flying, but it can block
creatures that do."
Par contre la définition donnée dans les "Comprehensive rules" contredit la définition du livret :
"“As though”
Text that states a player or card may do something “as though” some condition were true applies only
to the stated action. For purposes of that action, treat the game exactly as if the stated condition is
true. For all other purposes, treat the game normally.
Example: “Giant Spider may block as though it had flying.” You may treat the Spider as a
creature with flying, but only for the purpose of declaring blockers. This allows Giant Spider to
block a creature with flying (and creatures that “can’t be blocked except by creatures with
flying”),[...]"
Alors quelle règle appliquer ? Là je reste perplexe...
