Blood War Errata & Clarifications

Guy Fullerton has updated his clarification page with a number of rulings on Blood War, as well as some important errata. Of particular note:

• Bluespawn Stormlizard (Blood War: LE, 30/60): The Electricity Link ability should say "Bluespawn Stormlizard" instead of "Bluespawn Thunderlizard."
  
• Demonic Gnoll Priestess (Blood War: CE, 46/60): The Poison caused by the Demonic Gnoll Priestess' spores of the vrock spell is the standard "5 damage whenever poison creature activates" variety.
  
• Green Slaad (Blood War: CE, 53/60): If there is at least one legal target creature for the Green Slaad's randomly determined spell, the Green Slaad must choose one of those legal targets, potentially requiring it to target an ally. If there are no legal targets for the randomly determined spell, the spell is still considered to be cast, but has no effect.
  
• Harmonium Guard (Blood War: LG, 8/60): The Commander Effect should say "round" instead of "turn."
  
• Mezzoloth (Blood War: LE, 41/60): Add a single [] before the Mezzoloth's cloudkill spell.
  
• Pit Fiend (Blood War: LE, 42/60): The spells section should say "7th" instead of "7rd." Add Flight to the Epic Pit Fiend's special abilities.
  
• Retributive Strike (This creature may make a melee attack against an enemy within its Melee Reach that attacks it) The Retributive Strike attack is made when an attack is declared against this creature and before that attack is resolved. Thus, a creature with this ability might destroy the attacker and prevent the declared attack from occurring. If this creature does not have the Melee Reach ability, it can only use this ability against adjacent enemies. (This supersedes the booster insert clarification text.)
  
• Solar: Slaying Arrow (If this creature's ranged attack hits an enemy with 100 or fewer hp, destroy that enemy; DC 20) The Slaying Arrow ability does not replace attacks; it augments one of this creature's normal ranged attacks. If the enemy's save succeeds, it still takes normal damage from the ranged attack. (This entry supersedes the card text.)

I'm currently in the process of updating my spoiler list; errata will be included in it. Look for it in about 8 hours time.
