First let me say this caught me on the hop. I had planned to have some basic Aqua (PROTECTED) and E&I 2 questions ready for immediate release with the set, but it came out earlier than I expected (and I'm not the only one) and also there were Real World issues. Now I'm also collecting some immediate German fan questions to put in as well. Next week I hope.

I wonder if Aqua 31 will be banned since it is so similar to Chosen of Nature (i.e., could significantly increase the length of the match)....I'm guessing not since it will only apply to one of the players.
When the banning of C of N was suggested, I hinted elliptically that, in addition to other observations, there was something in the wings to make the decision even more dubious. This is it. And note the Aqua have been balanced with Administer Water of Immortality (there you are, your first official translation, and for those who want to know what we are talking about "Now I may shuffle my discard pile into my draw deck.") and it's a serious part of their capability (it is after all a four moon card). See the quotation from Reiner on this subject in the FAQ.
