Wasn't there a thread that discussed the future "play as"? That is what I was hoping to find. Whether you shuffled just active artifacts or your opponents whole artifact pile.

yes, split altar only shuffles active artifacts.  This was one of the most controversial rulings ever.

This was one of the most controversial rulings ever.

That ruling was very minor really, compared to:

Michael with Angel's Sword vs. 2kh,
Rescuing of captured demons
Son of God's inability to rescue certain LSs

and the granddaddy of them all:

Protection of Angels vs. 12 Fingered Giant (oooooh painful memories :) )

I don't remember rescuing captured demons being that "huge" compared to the others. Only Stamp ever cared, and who cares what Stamp thinks?

The Son of God ruling goes back to newsgroup days, if I remember correctly. But there was a lot of... discontent there.

I don't even remember what the final outcome of that was...what was it?

-> The horse-bearer plays an enhancement, then the bearer of Angel's Sword does.
-> You can rescue captured demons.
-> Son of God cannot rescue the NT or */4 souls; New Jerusalem can't rescue those or the Female soul.
-> You can't protect against negation (that's a different ability, "CBN").

Thanks.  I guess I should have specified which of the rulings I was referring to. =D
