Not always....sometimes a group will have one person cast say Arcane Nexus to keep someone else from getting it (same as Well of Misery etc)

[Sensori]

Arcane Nexus is just the ultimate gem generating global, it's not a direct attack on anyone, unlike Utterdark or Astral Corruption. Rather, it's the same sort of claim on victory as Forge of the Ancients.

As such it's not considered the same as cancelling all NAPs, but rather a reason for the caster's neighbors to cancel NAPs and dogpile the said caster. And of course, often it's done as a team effort, so who ever decides to attack the AN caster has to prepare for other nations to show up to defend the caster.

Sensori Is correct...

If the person with AN is a threat and you think he is using it for himself only, then by all means attack him...

However, usually he is the top dog in the game and is casting it to fuel summons for his large empire.

If he isn't that large, you might want to ask yourself "Why would he take that chance". The answer is as Sensori said.

It is usually a joint effort and you will end up going to war with 3 or 4 nations so that AN doesn't fall in the wrong hands.

Think it thru and then declare your intentions.
