Title: 2-liner question and Altar of Ahaz
Post by: Tracer Burnout on March 27, 2010, 10:40:48 PM

Does a half-rescue of a 2/3 Liner trigger discarding of Altar of Ahaz?

It was ruled that a half-rescue counts for Altar of Ahaz being discarded. But that rule was determined a long time ago, and the thread is likely long gone.

+1  You cannot rescue a 2-liner/3-liner twice if you don't first rescue it once.  Rescuing it the first time would satisfy Altar of Ahaz.

I would assume then that cards like Abram/Abraham would also trigger.

Correct. Rescuing half of the 2-liner is a successful rescue attempt even if they bury/shuffle the Lost Soul right after giving you half.
