Sites cannot be put in battle from hand.
Quote from: Red Wing on March 28, 2018, 07:10:10 PMSites cannot be put in battle from hand.Why is the ruling like this? If you can add a site from territory into battle at any time, what's the reasoning behind not letting you add it from hand?
While we’re at it let’s increase the power of another card type and start a petition to be able to be able to activate artifacts in our discard phase. We can also do one to allow souls to be removed from sites. Some rules exist because that’s just how the game was made and cards are designed around those rules. They shouldn’t be arbitrarily changed if they don’t cause actual problems with the game.

Kind of like back when curses retain their brigade when activated as artifact and now all of a sudden they don't.
That said, considering the way rules have been for a long time is very good for maintaining consistent rulings and confident judges.
I didn't say it I didn't like the change in fact it probably should have been this way all along.

On the whole JD is correct though. There will always be exceptions as the game grows.Since I started playing I’ve wished that I could add sites to battle from hand. Still do. While that change fits my play style I don’t know that it’s what is best for the game.
So that’s the reason, because it’s a small cost? I’m sorry but given the card type that seems trivial to me.
At the very least deactivate an art in discard phase.
If you could add a site from hand to battle it turns Samaria + Gates of Samaria into a potential battle winner without needing initiative.

ECs don’t use them in battle so Gates’ ability being used in battle is irrelevant.
Gates is awesome

That rule has not been changed nor is it even being discussed as a potential rule change. Artifacts must be activated/deactivated before the Battle Phase.
