Shouldn’t we change the wording of BD wincon (particularly the neut part) to make certain that the NK is the only neut that needs to be killed?
When it comes to figuring out how to resolve apparent stalemate instances I generally use the following flowchart:
- Hypothetcially COULD the game continue?
A: No - Auto resolve as a draw
B: Yes - See 2
- If we were to force the game down whatever route lets it progress would there be a clear winner?
A: No - Auto resolve as a draw
B: Yes - Auto resolve with that team as the winner
We totally could.
It’s technically fine either way but it’s more clear that way.

Oh yeah. This implicitly checks to see if someone can force a win before even asking those questions.
Thus in the case of ToL Reaper (not bleeding/snared) vs MM:
Reaper 2+ Souls - Play it out
Reaper 1 Soul - Auto resolve Reaper win
Reaper 0 Souls - Auto resolve draw
Yes this means being a Reaper with exactly 2 souls is slightly worse than a Reaper with exactly 1 soul. This would be a case where an exception might be appropriate but that’s where stalemate resolution gets me
It isn’t auto resolved, it’s not a stalemate.
But it’s because 2 souls has the possibility of a Reaper loss while 1 soul does not.
Why would the reaper ever use empower when they can wait for the mastermind to try to attack them and just keep stabbing them
Waiting is the stalemate. But if he has 2 or more souls then he doesn’t have to wait.
And if you empower reap when you otherwise would have 2 souls you will be attacked with no souls.
1 soul is a stalemate because he can’t force the MM’s hand like he can with 2 souls. Thus it has to auto resolve which would be in his favor for the same reason as possessor.
Nuke
Empower takes two souls
Reap gives you one
You can’t use empower without 2 souls
2 souls-2souls+1 Soul for reaping a soul 1 Soul for being attacked=0 but still survives
Not how that works. You gain the soul AFTER the night.
Otherwise you would never die ever no matter what.
