You have to decide whether beast abilites are abilities or spells. At present, they do not gain from dragon's 50% bonus while at the same time cost an extra mana to play when opponent has the control 1 in play. These two things CANNOT coexist. Either it's a spell or ability...not both...choose one.

Thanks

This was already addressed by the mods, Randy - I believe it was in one of the 1.1 threads. In the official version, they will not gain 50% for Dragon and they will not be affected by Control 1. Or in other words, they will not be considered spells.

Edit: Found it: Estarh wrote: "No, it [any beast ability] is not a spell and control 1 will not affect it in 1.1 final version."

Hypnosis @_@

as it was pointed out by someone, hypnosis actually not a spell, but physical "action", forced creatures to atatck his owner.

from other hand, natural fury seems the same, but clariied as a spell, so programmers should remove "atatcking" animation from creatures if want to keep it as described above.

it seems unfair to me that beast abilities would not be considered spells but hypnosis still is a spell

you could say the beast abilities function the exact same way that hypnosis does and it would be perfectly consistent. they are spells that make the creature do something.

Eh, not really. Spells like Hypnosis, like any other spell from 1.00-1.03, work so long as they have any valid target; it doesn't matter which creature IS being targetted or what other creatures are in play. The abilities are creature-specific. I really like that they will be affected by neither Dragon nor Goblin Shaman.

Hypnosis is a spell but the damage doesn't come from the spell; it comes from an "attack" against the creatures' own owner, which is ostensibly why Dragon and Faerie Apprentice don't affect it.
