Global: Pay (mask) to reroll a villain die.
Is that only rerolling your own villain dice? Suppose I have Magneto as a Level 2. Wouldn't my opponent immediately reroll him? That would be a bummer...

Unless an ability specifies "your" or "an opponent" it's effect applies to any character; in this case, yes, you're opponent could pay [Mask] to reroll your Magneto die

Yes, it's a really weird card.

It's what I like to call a "hard counter". If a villain deck starts trashing the metagame, people will start packing this card as a counter.

Plus your opponent has to actually have a mask energy which means they didn't spend it last turn which is probably a good thing.

in a recent game my opponent had that card and a Dr. Doom die out, so I used the global hoping to get rid of Dr. Doom but just ended up making him stronger

Rolled dice are considered what their face is. If it shows a character it's a character die if it shows energy it's an energy die. Is Magneto always a villian die, in addition to whatever other kind of die it is?

Good question! I hadn't thought of it that way. This calls for another look at the rules.

I believe I've found something definitive on this... from the rules
Unless otherwise stated, game effects can only target character dice that are in the field.
When you reroll a die, it stays in the same area it was in unless (a) otherwise specified by the card text for the resulting face, or (b) it’s in a location that the die face cannot be (for example, an energy result in the field). If the die face cannot be in the specified location and its fate is not specified in the card text, move the die to the reserve pool.
If you force a villain to reroll, and it becomes an energy, it is removed from the field to the reserve area. Once that die is no longer in the field, it is no longer a valid target for Magnetos effect.

No, a villain die does not denote the face of the die.
A villain die is still a villain if it shows energy or a character.
This was also somewhere else in the forums.

I think until there is an official FAQ/response, play it how everyone at your game agrees or flip a coin if no one agrees just so the game could continue.

It seems to me to be necessary since some of the villain synergies can be nasty, especially if you're not fielding any villains yourself. Remember, the character doesn't have to be in play (or even purchased) in order to use the global effect. I suspect it will be a useful equalizer.

So it doesn't matter because Magneto can only target a Villain die in the field.

So are you saying you can use Magneto's global to re-roll a villain die anywhere (used pile/reserve/field)?

I think if you, for example, rolled and rerolled a Dr Doom die and got energy both times, you could spend a mask to roll him for a third time.

As stated earlier in the thread, it states in the rules that effects can only target fielded dice (unless otherwise noted).

What Heath said. The fact that the die is a villain is irrelevant. You CANNOT target a die in the reserve pool with Magneto's ability.

A villain die is a villain die no matter where it is located. But effects can only be used on fielded characters.
In the future, there may be a card that says the first villain die field costs twice the energy. I assume the used the word 'die' instead of 'character' to save room on the card. But then there is heavy text cards like V.Shield.

I'm getting progressively more disappointed with WizKids and the designers lack of any kind of coordinated response on a lot of these rule questions.
They totally f-ed up the release along with all the production and distribution logistics, the least they could do is actually clarify some of the things that their free beta testing service (a.k.a. all of us) are bringing up.
