I think that purpose of the card (in 2nd effect) was affecting an automatic-attack faced by a minion company.Thorsten the Traveller wrote: ↑Fri Jun 01, 2018 12:45 pm It does not have a target during m/h hazard phase in the existing version, but I assumed we agreed that was due to sloppy wording, not on purpose.
In Shapeshifter's version it does have a target. The AA exists at the site, whether it's detainment or not (or existent vs. a particular company)
It is OK if a card overcomes a limitation imposed by rules as long it does it explicitly. Practice used in hazard cards that may be revealed On Guard is using a clause "if placed On Guard it may be revealed [under that or another conditions]".
Text of FEAR! FIRE! FOES! lacks of such clause.
Shapeshifter's version cures a headache by cutting a head. It changes a target in such way that the target exists in M/H phase, so such clause is no longer needed.
At first glance it only adds a features to the card (the card may be also played in M/H phase for 2nd effect, not only placed On Guard) not removing anything. But it is not true.
Company may face AA not only when it enters a site. It may face it again (e.g. in result of Troll-purse). Shapeshifter's version cannot be revealed under such condition. My version (that introduces a minimal changes) can.
According to rules, if the company plays a card that potentially taps the site On Guard may be revealed.Thorsten the Traveller wrote: ↑Fri Jun 01, 2018 12:45 pm According to rules, if it modifies the automatic-attack (and FFF does), special privilege is that you can reveal it as on-guard card. Or are you implying that because Framsburg's AA is not specified during M/H phase, no AA is specified during M/H phase? That would make a whole class of cards unuseable.
And if that would be all on the topic, the rest of restrictions regarding a revealing On Guards would be meaningless (e.g. feel free to reveal Darkness Under Tree).
Hero Framsburg's AA has no type (race) until faced (and if opponent plays a creature as that AA). That actually makes a whole class of cards unusable as a cards that would affect the attack (and similar automatic-attacks). The class is: a hazard cards that target an attack of given type (race).
