[BQuestion is also over on the Masters Site but if there's a couple of Profesors who want to aid in getting a quicker response that would be GREAT
Problem 1; Player A has Expedition Ninetails and wants to use Etheraal Flame against a Dustox
It Reads, Discard all Fire attached to Ninetais and this attack does 30+ 20 more damage for each energy card discarded in this way-Dustox prevents all effects only takes actual damage which in this case would be the 30 damage listed, the + should not be allowed to happen it is an effect of the original attack[
The Dispute is simple, Ninetails will do the 30 but since discarding the Fire Energy is and effect( remember is says + not times) so I contend that Ninetails cannoy discard the energy for added bonus
Problem 2, same player Using his Blazikento do fire Stream, player 2 is going to copy the attack but player 1 says he can't unless use the attack unless he discards a Fire Energy. Card states
Discard a fire Energy card attached to Blaziken but then right after theat text comes 3 key wordes" IF YOU DO"this attack does 10 more damage to your opponents bench
I made the ruling that the opponent did not have to discard the Fire Energy as it strickly states, IF you do so in other words giving you a choice as to whether or not you want to do the extra damage by discarding or by not disgarding the Fire Energy just setteling for the straight 50 damage
