[TempestTenor]

Good stuff!

Some questions:

1) When are hands drawn in NRD?  When do Pre-match card text take effect?  How would one have already drawn his hand for the purposes of playing Awesome Pyrotechnics?  Another Awesome Pyrotechnics?

109/300
Awesome Pyrotechnics
Pre-match Event
If you have not drawn your Hand yet, draw your Hand now instead of at the end of the Pre-match.
At the end of the Pre-match phase, you may shuffle your Hand into your Arsenal and draw the same number of cards.  If one of your Styles is Showman, draw 1 additional card.
F: 0      D: 0

2) Just a templating nit: F:0 maneuvers are referenced in different ways on I Know Judo!

110/300
I Know Judo!
Pre-match Event
When this card is in your Ring, if your opponent moves a card from your Ring, plays a non-Pre-match card or effect that looks at your Hand or plays an Action if it is not his first Action played this turn, you may put this card into your Ringside.  If you do, put 1 printed F: 0 maneuver from your Hand into your Ring.
If your opponent moves this card from your Ring, you may put 1 printed 0F maneuver from your Hand or Ringside into your Ring.
F: 0      D: 0

3) Did you mean "for each card discarded, search your Arsenal...?" in Technicality?

This card seems a little dubious to me.  It would really suck to play against Technicality especially a Technical Style wrestler using Technicality.

117/300
Technicality
Pre-match Event
At the end of the Pre-match phase, you may discard 1 non-Reversal card for each copy of this card in your Ring.  If you do, search your Arsenal for 1 card, put it face down under this card and shuffle your Arsenal.
When this card is in your Ring, if one of your Styles is Technical or if your opponent has a Maneuver in his Ring, non-Unique Reversals under this card may be played as if they were in your Hand.
If this card is removed from your Ring, put all cards under this card into your Ringside.
F: 0      D: 0

[dwalls31]

All I can say is that for the first time Pre-Match seems balanced for all types. There is nothing so far that seems omni-powerful. One good combo I see is Study the Tapes and Technicality. Play Study first and then any # of Technicality-when you resolve your Pre-Match look at your opponent's hand via Study and then you will know what to put under Technicality. Simple but possibly effective. There are ways around this, but it could help for the first couple of turns.

I don't think he did, TT. I think the intent was that the first Technicality you play, discard 1 to search for 1. The second, discard 2 to search for 1. The third, discard 3 to search for 1. That way they can't load up with an array of reversals (1 of each of the three pain reversals, Elbow, Oversell, Manager or what have you) without paying through the nose for it. However, it does have an effect similar to Osaka for the first 1, IIRC.

[BrysonYuzyk]

1) When are hands drawn in NRD?  When do Pre-match card text take effect?  How would one have already drawn his hand for the purposes of playing Awesome Pyrotechnics?  Another Awesome Pyrotechnics?

Hands are drawn in RDC form, which is Play Pre-match -> Draw Hand -> Resolve Pre-match.  Already drawing your hand would be through, as you said, another Awesome Pyro, or any possible future efforts.

2) Just a templating nit: F:0 maneuvers are referenced in different ways on I Know Judo!

Good catch.  Fixed.

3) Did you mean "for each card discarded, search your Arsenal...?" in Technicality?

Negatory.

If you have one Technicality in play, you discard 1 non-reversal and get 1 card under the Technicality.
If you have two Technicality in play, you discard 2 non-reversals for EACH technicality but still only get 1 card under each Technicality.
If you have three Technicality in play, you discard 3 non-reversals for EACH technicality but still only get 1 card under each Technicality.

Each Technicality can only ever hide 1 card, but the TOTAL cost gets exponentially larger (1, 4, 9) based on the number you play.

I hope this assuages your concerns.

Thank you for your kind words.

As for Study/Technicality, you're misreading the cards.

Technicality says 'At the end of the Pre-match...' so it resolves after drawing your hand.

Study the Tapes says 'After the Pre-match, before the first turn of the game...' so it resolves after all your 'At the end of the Pre-match...' cards have resolved and you're about to start the Match.

I think the intent was that the first Technicality you play, discard 1 to search for 1. The second, discard 2 to search for 1. The third, discard 3 to search for 1. That way they can't load up with an array of reversals (1 of each of the three pain reversals, Elbow, Oversell, Manager or what have you) without paying through the nose for it.

Correct, except that EACH Technicality would reference the added cost, so if you have 2 in play you have to discard 2 to EACH, not 1 to the first and 2 to the second.

Aha. Yeah, now I see the timing issue. Need to break the habit of expecting search cards to happen immediately (particularly since, in this case, you wouldn't have cards in hand unless you had out Awesome Pyro, and therefore couldn't pay the cost.)

[TempestTenor]

Ah okay, thanks all for the explanation on Technicality.  For some reason the word "may" was throwing me off.  The card does seem more balanced now.  I also think that the pre-match cards look great!  None of them jump out at me as useless fodder.  It's much easier to make cards when rarity isn't an issue!

[Commissioner D2]

A suggestion:

Change the title of "Indianapolis, IN" to "Why The Hell Are We In Indianapolis, IN?"  Just for kicks 

[dwalls31]

My bad, I guess I should read closer before I get too exicited. Everything is looking fantastic so far. Keep the great cards coming. I can't wait till I can print out these cards and start playing them. This could bring back RD in my play area, it is dead right now, but I smell a comeback.

[BrysonYuzyk]

I'm so glad that you're all happy with the product we've come up with.

It's been a few hard months, and it's good to know that people are excited and actually plan to make use of it.

As an added bonus, with the resurgence of Lackey as a method to play Raw Deal online using both visuals as well as multiple fields, playing NRD in online tournaments for real-life promos is a significant option for the future!

[Revolution_Payback]

I have a noobish question to ask. On the part of "Taking Wrestling to New Heights" referencing "A Style that Can't Be Stopped" does removing the ACE logo basically mean it cannot be reversed by "Don't Try?"

[BrysonYuzyk]

Correct.

Don't Try now only reverses effects with the ACE logo, not effects which would have previously counted as ACEs.

This gives us an added degree of freedom, as it allows us to determine which card effects we want to be able to be reversed or not.

Maybe i'm missing the point but...

From what I gather, this is pretty much giving you the "Discard a card: Peek at your opponent's hand" ability (reminescent of Al Snow's ability.) Which is nice, (knowing what you can and cannot throw successfully,) but quite costly in "card advantage" if you use it consecutively over the course of a few turns.

The "something" that happens if your opponent does have the named card is that you get to keep your Study the Tapes!     Gosh, isn't that good enough for you?

ok Noo question but it's just been said whats DKP?

Just a joke.

DKP =  Donkey Kong Punch?

They're obviously named after me, silly.

Correct.

The P stands for points.

The more points you get, the closer to being Dark Knight Bob you are!

...this is also a joke.

Noobish question yet again. I just noticed that Old School Wrestling Match is now a Stipulation. Does this mean that my opponents first Event is blanked then?

[BrysonYuzyk]

The next event they play after you play OSWM.

Don't forget that you can GM's Word -> OSWM in the Event Phase.

[Revolution_Payback]

So if you play in the Stip phase and they play a Manager then it does nothing or it hits their first Event?
