Rulings

• Q: In DM-37, there are several fire/nature creatures with "Solemn Duty". How do I use them?

• Q: What effects do creatures with "Solemn Duty" have?
  • A: For example: "Each of your creatures that costs 3 or less in the battle zone gets 'speed attacker' until the end of the turn." or "This creature gets +3000 power until the end of the turn."
