yes, still a noob with less than 10 games under the belly. Difficult to find players here in JP...

I had a thought.

How does Tyrion interact with units like Dreamer of Dragons and Thyrus Gorman? Since they say "take damage" would it still be redirected by Tyrion? Because at some point that taken damage gets dealt. And If it does get redirected, in the case of DoD, is it still uncancellable at the other end, to be usable against Toughness units? And how would DoD's power work with that? Would she get 2 power for only 1 damage?

Of course, if "taken" damage isn't considered "dealt" then render the rest of the questions moot. I guess I'm just hoping for a favorable answer for a deck idea.

"Take damage" doesn't mean anything special in W:I.  It generally indicates something is damaging itself, but even that is not always true.

However, if you redirect damage, then that damage is not dealt (or taken), and won't trigger abilities that key on damage dealt.

As for redirecting uncancellable damage, I would suspect its still uncancellable, though I've never seen that question before.  Combat damage remains combat damage, even after being redirected, so I would assume uncancellable damage maintains its type as well.

So basically, you're saying I could use Tyrion to keep Thyrus around indefinitely and use self-damaging characters as a free one-point of direct damage per turn. It's just that any abilities like gaining power/counterstrike and destroying attachments would not trigger off the redirected damage.

Thank you. I'll work on the deck today!

Is there official answer does counterstrike works on attacking legends?

Thanks...

For counterstrike, the rules state:

The Counterstrike keyword allows a defending unit
to immediately damage an attacker whenever it is
declared as a defender.

So if a legend is attacking, it can be subject to damage to counterstrike damage by a unit declared as a defender. There is a reference to 'units' in the remainder of the above paragraph, but I believe with respect to being a potential target for counterstrike damage, there is no difference between an attacking unit or an attacking legend.
