How about either an action card or a site or agent with this ability.
The ability would take a half day to resolve and during this time either surprises canot be launched (too strong I think) or surprises resolve as normal actions (half day)
This could be very usefull vs counter and just to get out those important cards you really want out there

The effect would be on WHILE the action is resolving, if the game can't do that then I guess a half day after it resolves but then it could be countered unless the action itself is a surprise lol

It's a good idea. A 'shield' card, or a 'stasis field' maybe.

An ability like this would be way overpowered... Unless the cost is something like discard a card. Still it's very spammable. A once off action would make sense though. While this action is resolving, all surprises are played as actions. I essence it is an uncounterable action that makes other actions uncounterable, if timed right. Among other combat preventative uses. So it's like... "Eagle Vision"!! The ability to foresee stuff coming. So you can't be surprised  Knowing how bugged Monterigionni is though I shudder at how buggy this might be |

Not exactly, but a similar result. Your example is kind of the opposite. When Monty is out all actions are surprises. In this way, no actions can be countered. You propose making all surprises normal actions. The result is no actions can be countered. The difference is twofold. With your card, all actions are slower. With Monty, all actions are faster, but it can be removed from play somehow to stop the effect. If you mean what Tuism was saying, it might be possible. It could be a normal action. While it is resolving surprises resolve as normal actions (or cannot be played). Since you only have two action slots, you would only be able to push through one action before your card resolved. It still seems OP. it would have to have a steep cost: a high gold cost and another drawback (discard, income, score, cards in play). It is probably still abusable. |

But then we would need an anti-anti-surprise. And then we would need an anti-anti-anti-surprise.

Lol this idea seems more and more ridiculous with each reply. I agree with you Jef, I just posted this when the idea popped in my head

Waaaay overpowered. That one agent/site could neutralize over 1/2 a blue counter deck

mmm, like that one. drop it before a critical agent, perhaps with resolve power like ezio assasin or auditore bro's, and their affect can't be stopped. Or even to support a rush. Suprise or action?

1 cost is WAY low. Monterigionni is 6 cost with that effect |

Not quite the same thing as monterigionni. This card STOPS suprises. And monterigionni is a permanent affect, nto temporary. It's a potential disadvantage to you as well as your opponent.

this would screw up the game mechanic so badly, not a good idea

How about "Opponent discards a memory if he launches a surprise within half a day"?
