Monsters with bonus vs Class
I think I know the answer but can someone just clarify:
A Level 1 'Tequila Mockingbird' has +5 verses Bards. Does this mean that to the Bard the monster is actually a Level 6? |

No it does not. To a Bard, the monster is a Level 1 monster with a combat strength of 6. There are very few cards which alter the Level of the monster and they will all say they specifically change the monster's Level.

Re: Monsters with bonus vs Class
Okay...I'm confused. What is the difference between a monster with a level of 6 and a monster with a level of 1 and a combat strength of 6?

Re: Monsters with bonus vs Class
A Monster's Level is considered to be unchanging. Why does it matter? Because some cards can rely on a Monster's Level. Mommy, for instance, can only be played on a Monster that is Level 5 or below, or one that has had Baby played on it.
Bonuses are bonuses, not increases to Level, and are factors when calculating combat strength (Level + bonuses - penalties). So, Tequila Mockingbird has a combat strength of 6 when facing a Bard, but its Level remains 1. |
