Dead Mate
If someone plays "Dead"; "Dead broke" or "Illusion" on a monster that has a mate, do the effects affect both the monster and its mate?

Re: Dead Mate
It depends on the card. The Mate is a separate Monster, so something that has an effect on one Monster, and does not resemble a traditional Monster Enhancer, only affects one Monster. I don't have the specific cards you reference, or my database, in front of me, so I'm not going to comment on the specifics of each card until I do.

Re: Dead Mate
by the way, would mate's "-1 to run away" work if one of the mates is already out of combat?

Re: Dead Mate
Hmmmm. Perhaps, next time, you could find a more polite way to go about this.
However, Dead, Dead Broke, and Illusion only affect one Monster. For Dead, play it on the Mate, as it's easier; for Dead Broke, play it on either, but it will only affect one; for Illusion, you can play it on either: If played on the Mate, that will replace the Mate with a different Monster; play it on the original Monster, and you'll be facing that new Monster and its Mate. Well, as a matter of simplification, if you're going to remove a Monster that has a Mate, you should remove the Mate. That would remove the Run Away penalty right there.

Re: Dead Mate
MunchkinMan, can you explain why Illusion's effect differs from Dead one since Illusion also affects one monster?

Re: Dead Mate
Because Dead removes one Monster and Illusion changes one Monster. They have different effects. If you play Dead on the original Monster, and remove the card, you have a Mate card floating out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to define it.
