CT & OR

[poneill378]

If I have a character with a CT played on them and I use an OR to move them into reserve, does that then cancel out the CT or are the attacks still shifted to them in reserve?

This has come up several times in practice games for me.

Should be fine, you just can't target the reserve when playing the CT.

This is brilliant!  Does cannon fodder allow attacks on Onslaught automatically shift to reserve or is opponent required to use cards like AP or LZ to attack reserve or go after hawkeye?

What should be fine? Your response is unclear.

If the character that is getting attacks shifted to them is moved to reserve then the attacks still get shifted to them if they are in reserve.

I guess I'm ready to take off 'training wheels":  shift rule : if attacks are shifted by a special in play the attack comes from the SHIFTER not the opponent so opponent needs only attack shifter to have attacks move to reserve without the need of AP or LZ specials.  In a related note: if the recipient plays a BJ ( Gambits Charm et al ) that would only prevent DIRECT ATTACKS from the opponent .  Shifted attacks still come through and have to be dealt with.   ps I hope I got that right!

Correct.
