Title: Birth Foretold Question
Post by: Drrek on January 08, 2012, 08:45:46 PM
I have a quick question on Birth Foretold, does it protect the cards with those titles from your opponents' while those cards are still in your hand?


Birth Foretold (Di)

Protect cards with those titles from opponents' cards this turn. • Identifiers: NT, Based on Prophecy • Verse: Luke 1:31 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

I'm not entirely sure that that works here. Yes, abilities default to "in play", however, Birth Foretold is specifically targeting those cards. Does it still apply here?

Yep. This came up awhile ago when it was asked what would happen if Mayhem was played following BF.

I looked a bit and couldn't find the thread. Do you happen to know what any of the keywords are so I can search for it?
