...Prepares for War & Runic Shield Lv2

I would like to know if this works.

Scenario #1
Take a character with NO runes.
- You already have [card]Runic Shield[/card] Lv2 (Cor) equipped.
- You play [card]Who wants peace...[/card] Lv2 (Nox) & [card]...prepares for War[/card]

My hopes are that:
- [card]Who wants peace...[/card] Lv2 (Nox) gives you 2 Nox.
- [card]...prepares for war[/card] grabs Runic Bigblade from the deck, consumes 1 Nox and plays the weapon, so now you have 1 Nox.
- By playing [card]Runic Bigblade[/card], you activate [card]Runic Shield[/card]'s effect, giving you 1 Cor, so now you have 1 Nox & 1 Cor.
- [card]Runic Bigblade[/card] activates at the end of the fight, consuming 1 Nox and 1 Cor to give you Attack +5 and remove 1 item and 1 theurgy from opposing character.
---

Scenario #2
Take a character with 1 Nox & 1 Cor.
- You already have [card]Runic Shield[/card] Lv2 (Nox) equipped.
- You play [card]...prepares for War[/card]

My hopes are that:
- [card]...prepares for war[/card] grabs Runic Bigblade from the deck, consumes 1 Nox and plays the weapon, so now you have 1 Cor.
- By playing [card]Runic Bigblade[/card], you activate [card]Runic Shield[/card]'s effect, giving you 1 Nox, so now you have 1 Nox & 1 Cor.
- [card]Runic Bigblade[/card] activates at the end of the fight, consuming 1 Nox and 1 Cor to give you Attack +5 and remove 1 item and 1 theurgy from opposing character.

Does this happen?
Or does Runic Shield ignore the weapon played through [card]...prepares for war[/card]?

The order in wich you spend/gain runes is very important, so for the sake of this example, imagine the characters in question only have 2 Rune slots.

Re : ...Prepares for War & Runic Shield Lv2

You could always start off the fight with a character like [card]Runic Lord Eilos[/card] and not worry about having to have a shield equip, because he starts the turn with a cor rune...  However, seeing as he is the only one with this ability I guess that really doesn't help your cause.

In theory your example should work, but I have yet to get my hands on the shield or the sword.  At anyrate, you would have to make sure that you only have one weapon type in your deck.

But you probably already knew all this and I just wasted a post

Re : ...Prepares for War & Runic Shield Lv2

At least in the training room, a Runic Shield will NOT give a rune for a weapon played by the card 'Prepares for War'. What happens is that one Nox rune is consumed by War, no rune is given, and the second Nox rune is consumed by the Runic Bigblade...but since no Cor rune was given by the shield, you don't get that bonus.

HOWEVER.

A character with three rune slots, and the most recent being Cor [Hares on first turn, Elios with his turn bonus, whatever] will gain the two Nox, have all three slots full, and then proceed to have one consumed by 'Prepares', then both Cor and Nox consumed by the bigblade.

I have no idea if this is as intended.

For Scenario #2, the trouble you run into is rune replacement. There's no rune-backlog...once a rune is consumed or replaced, that exact rune doesn't come back. So if you replace a Cor with a Nox, it doesn't matter that you immediately consume the Nox, the Cor is still gone and will not come back for the bigblade.

[edit] If this interaction is working as intended, "...preapres for war" NEEDS to be changed to read 'played from your hand'. If this is NOT working as intended, please fix. While time for either fix is understandable, implementing neither is pretty lame-sauce.[/edit]

The only part I was worried about is whether [card]Runic Shield[/card] bonus Rune is triggered by [card]...prepares for war.[/card]

I think it's sad that it doesn't.
