When summing do you count moving up / down as part of the 5 clear sight spaces? Can I theoretically summon 10 height higher than I currently am? Can you play a card that cannot take effect? (the  card that says play a sorcery, assuming you don't have a sorcery) When summoning the firecats do you have to have the entire base within 5 spaces? Do you have to be able to see the entire base? |

(my take) 1. I would say height counts same as movement. If the planeswalker is lower than the target space, then you count each level. But if the planeswalker is higher than the target space then you don't count each level. Its the simplest ruling and makes logical sense. 2. I don't have the game out right now (I could get it but I feel lazy) ... I think it depends on the wording. If it says you MAY play a sorcery than its an easy ruling - its not required. If it says you MUST play a sorcery, then its still an easy ruling - its obviously required. I'm guessing though that it says neither, probally says simply "play a sorcery." To me this phrasing would mean that if you DO have a sorcery you MUST play it, but that you could still play the card even if you don't have a sorcery to play. In MTG terms it would be a non-optional secondary effect that fizzles if there is no sorcery to play, as opposed to being part of the casting cost of the base card. This probally sounds convoluted. I'm sorry. I'm tired. 3. I would defer to the default line of sight rules. I believe that when you target a large creature with a line of sight effect, you need only line of sight to the nearest square the creature occupies. You may want to re-check the line of sight rules on this, as I am going from memory and what makes sense to me. |

Thanks for the reply. I asked on 4 different forums and the consensus on Q1 was height does not affect summoning in any way. The rest agree with you.

tripgnosis : So, do you suggest we use pythagorean theorem to determine distance/range?? i.e. a^2+b^2=c^2?
