Clarifying some rules regarding Runelords OP / homeplay

[r0t1prata]

My home-play group is currently at 2-2B, however I still have some questions.

1) Removing cards from play: Does this refer to "Banish after use" cards?

2) Downgrading: One member recently found his lvl 2 item not as useful and wanted to downgrade to a level 1 item. Can he do it without using the deck upgrade?

3) Flenta and banishing spells or general banishing own cards: I play Flenta, let's say I gain a level 3 spell deck upgrade, then on the next game I use & banish that level 3 spell.

Do I still get it back after the game without having to wait for a new level 3 spell deck upgrade since it's written in my character sheet?

Or do I strike off that deck upgrade since it's banished and have to get a lower level spell according to the hierarchy?

I believe the answer above would be the same for all classes which have class deck cards/loot that are banished after use/to close a location?

1. Unsure what you mean by this.

2. Nope, if you're using OP rules, he needs to use a deck upgrade.

3. If you banish it, you lose the deck upgrade. You replace it as you would any hole in your deck. Note that these rules were just updated officially last week.

1. Removing cards: Yeah, we need you to clarify the question. Boons exist which have a power "remove this card from the game" to do X. You can't encounter those in OP -- when you do, you replace it with another card of the same type. Is this what you mean? Or are you referring to the remove Basics after you start 3/removed Elites after you start 5 rule?

2. Seconding Eliandra.

3. When you banish a card, you can replace it with a Basic card if you are playing Adventure 1 or 2. After you start 3, you can replace a banished card with any card of the same type in your Class Deck that has an Adventure number of AD-2 or lower, where AD is the number of the adventure you are playing.

Thank you both!

For the first question, it is because I don't remember or most probably forgotten that there are cards that have the "remove this card from game" text, which is why I thought it meant "Banish this card" instead.

I will check out the cards next time I play.
