So long as you Maintain at least one Castle or one Fortress on this Terrain, Lady McDonnan may use an action to Recruit a Cleric adn put that Cleric directly into play Fully Engaged on this Terrain.

By inference a Player who plays a Terrain card can (and must) immediately move one or more Creatures already In Play onto the Terrain card as it is played. Can pre-existing Structures also be moved? For example, if the Player already had a maintained Castle and a Fortress in the process of being built would they be able to move either of them onto the Domain as it was player? And when exactly does a new non-Terrain Structure get played directly onto the Terrain when it first is played from the hand or when it is built? That is, are non-maintained Structures considered on a Terrain?

Excellent Terrain questions. Is this new subtype explained in detail in some official capacity? Are they in the rulebook?

[Keith Katsikas]

The answer is no. Structures, maintained or not, cannot be moved onto a terrain that is being played.

Where is it inferred that one or more creature cards can be moved onto the terrain as it enters play? All this talk about inference lately is starting to confuse me.

Definition of Infer:
Deduce or conclude (information) from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.

Is this not an Explicit Statement? "Whenever a Terrain card enters play you must place a creature you control on it or it is discarded."

I am more asking about the exactitude of Terrains. I just want to know if they are explained in detail in terms of their interactions with the game as it is is described on that rules insert and/or in the comprehensive rulebook. As it is, I don't know if a creature that is on a Terrain can attack from said terrain. I also don't know how it would interact with a card like Condemn since the structure is already maintained being that it has no build cost, and what would happen to anything on said Terrain. IMO it's not very explicit. But maybe it's just me...

Keith, here's a bunch of terrain questions for you:

Whenever a Terrain card enters play you must place a creature you control on it or it is discarded.

Can you play more than one creature on a terrain when it enters play? (My reading of the card is that you can only move one creature when it comes into play.)

Does it require an action available to the creature being moved onto the terrain? Or an action to the character? Or no actions at all? (I'm assuming no actions are necessary.)

At what speed does the creature or do the creatures move onto the terrain when it comes into play? (I'm assuming it's Speed 1, just like it would be to move in/out of a building or behind a wall. But it could just as easily be at the speed on the terrain itself, since it's the terrain's ability sucking them onto it.)

Can an opponent respond to the moving of a creature or group of creatures onto the terrain? Does he only get to respond to the announcement of the playing of the terrain and then once he passes priority have to wait until the creature(s) are chosen?

If he Lightning Bolts a creature that I planned to put on the terrain, can I put a different creature on the terrain instead? Does putting down a terrrain start an event?

The Terrain's Integrity is equal to the combined health of all Creatures and Maintained Structures on it.

To be technical, Maintained Structures have 0 health, right? They have some number that's their integrity.

Creatures on Terrain are considered within Line of Sight and non-Terrain Structures may be played directly onto Terrain

Let's say I build a wall on a terrain. Are creatures that I place behind that wall now within LOS? They're on the terrain, after all.
