Upset Card Clarification

[Sibowitz]

Just wanting to clarify the Upset card !

They way I was playing it, is that it beats any +4 or +5 or Booster Bru cards whether alive OR dead. But re-reading the card and I'm wondering whether it should be beat ANY dead card.

What's the correct read on this card ?

That is not just limited to the upset card. Any live card automatically wins against a dead card.

As I understand it, Upset beats a dead card by 3 while any other card vs a dead card beats that card by whatever number is printed on the card.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here:
The Upset card will autowin by 3 against any dead card
Where a 1 energy card played against a dead card would autowin by 1
In both cases the team bonuses are not used when your opponent plays a dead card.

I have been using this rule as a strategy when I have Hardy and I know my opponent has burned his good cards. I'll suffer a point of damage from his reaction attack so I can save my high energy card for my attack/tackle.

Yes, that is exactly how it goes. Team bonuses would only be used if both cards played were dead.

Ok so:
Live v Live - team Bonuses apply as norm

Live v dead - team bonuses DONT apply, it's just diff in cards, except Upset which is an auto-win by +3

dead v dead - team bonuses DO apply

Sound right ?

 

[mcs1213]

Yes, sounds right. Where the Live v dead win amount is the value of the live card not necessarily the difference between the cards.

I would put it thusly:

Live vs Live = Card + stats

Live vs Dead = Live card only

Dead vs Dead = Stats only
