A quick question I had, one with probably a simple ruling, but I'd be interested to hear what you guys have to say/think:
"Indestructible: If a card is indestructible, it cannot be destroyed or removed from play."
"Sky-Scraper Gameplay: [...] start the game with her normal character card in play and the other two character cards off to the side - neither in play nor in hand. Whenever you play a card with a size keyword, switch her character card to the size named on the played card"
So lets say Fixed point is in play with Skyscraper. Her character card are now indestructible meaning it cannot be removed from play. So, if a new size keyword is played what happens? Could she simultaniously tiny and huge? Or would she stay in her size are you are unable to complete the switch? Or are her character cards and exception, the same way one-shots are (to my understanding)?

They aren't being destroyed or removed from play. They are simply being shifted from one to another by "switching." This is different from, say the Naturalist, who can effectively be a freaky beast hybrid, because his previous forms are later destroyed. But for all intents and purposes, Sky-scraper is one entity. All forms share the same HP, and she will always have only one character card in play.

How is it becoming a card that is no longer in play not equal it being removed from play?

I would say the key difference is "removed" vs "switched."

There is only one Sky-scraper. She can only ever be one size at a time. No Fixed Point shenanigans for her.
Oh neat, I wasn't aware that FAQ was updated with WotC already! Yeah, I get that logically you can only be one size at a time, but with something like Time Cataclysm going on, who knows how that could affect the time line, ya know? Haha. Anyways, I got my answer now, thanks!

One of the nice things about Spiff being a playtester is a lot of questions can be answered before the set is released.

Oops, except that the ruling I linked to for the discussion of Sky-Scraper is in the playtester forums, which isn't particularly helpful for most people. Sorry.

We should check with the-powers-that-be, but I imagine some of the points like that can be copied and pasted into the main forums?
