Deep Song and Elephant Guardian

Greets!

Is Elephant Guardian usable on a successful Deep Song rush? I think it is, but confirmation would put the unbelievers at ease... furthermore does Dumbo "remember" who's acting if employed via Pack Alpha?

IANPB I don't see anything preventing you from using Elephant Guardian on a successful Deep Song rush. Nor recuriting & using one with Pack Alpha during the said DS rush.


BTW Adding the card text is always a good choice and sure helps people in answering/unsderstanding the dilemma.

Texts can be found, for example, at secretlibrary.info


Elephant Guardian
Animal with 3 life. Requires a ready Laibon.
When this minion is in combat with an acting minion, the acting minion takes 2 damage during strike resolution each round if the range is close. A minion can have only one Elephant Guardian.

Deep Song
[ani] Bleed at +1 bleed.
[ANI] Frenzy. Enter combat with and tap a ready vampire controlled by another Methuselah. In that combat, that vampire is considered the acting minion.

Pack Alpha
A vampire may play only one Pack Alpha each round.
[ani] This vampire employs an animal retainer from your hand before range is determined. Pay cost as normal.
[ANI] Burn an animal retainer employed by this vampire and put this card on this vampire. The minion with this card gets +1 strength. A minion may have only one Pack Alpha.

Works just fine as far as I can tell. If you can get the 8+ Deep Songs and 8+ Elephant Guardians go for freaking gold...

If the Elephant Guardian is employed by the vampire who successfully played Deep Song, then yes, it will inflict damage if range is close.

Or on vekn.net (use that "Card Lists link on the left).

Mea culpa, next time i shall insert the appropriate card texts;)

Thank you all, the Deep Voiced Dumboes deck has earned its existence

You will need some stealth too: it stops working if the Deep Song gets blocked.
