Inquiry addressing Lavalasher and its interaction with Backstab units. I recently encountered an instance in which my opponent was foolish enough to play the Magmar 5-drop directly behind a Kaido assassin, yet the Golem did not take 3 damage. Is this intended? If so, might I request a change of wording, as ‘fights’ implies that the unit behaves as a normal unit, similar to one with Rush, or one that has already been on the board. As is, it appears as though the game reads Lavalasher to deal 4 damage to the targeted unit, and receive damage equal to its attack value, regardless of positioning. In my opinion, this should not be the case, but I am quite open to discussion on the matter.
n.b. I do not wish this to turn into a Lavalasher hate-fest, as I am aware the card is in a controversial state at best (and I have my own doubts about its strength), and equally aware that this is very much an edge case in term of applicability (the only competitive case I can think of being when your opponent has no other open tiles available, and MUST position the card directly behind a backstab unit). I would simply like to know if we can increase clarity on the card itself, and/or punish players who do not position their units correctly.
