Can one of the Redemption lawyers confirm that Banks of the Nile/Pharaoh's Court is an "Egypt" site for the purposes of Enslaved by Egypt.

That is, if I have Banks of the Nile/Pharaoh's Court in play, then Enslaved by Egypt cannot be negated by good cards.

It says in the Reg for Banks of the Nile/Pharaoh's Court: Attributes: Egyptian • Identifiers: Egypt

The issue is that Enslaved by Egypt says specifically "...if the Egypt Site" is in play. It doesn't say "...if an Egypt site..." or "...if an Egyptian site..." I wouldn't want to play Banks of the Nile/Pharaoh's Court in a tournament, try to make a capture with Enslaved by Egypt, and have it ruled negatable because Banks of the Nile/Pharaoh's Court isn't "the Egypt" site.

Thanks..

Yeah, I never even thought it possible that BotN/PC was the same as Egypt.

I think he just read the "Egypt Site" part and thought it meant "Egyptian-type Site", is all.

No. I'm well aware of the distinction between Egypt and Egyptian  . What prompted my question was that in the REG it is listed with
"Identifier: Egypt".

If it doesn't trigger the CBN part of Enslaved by Egypt, what is the purpose of the Egypt Identifier? No other card to my knowledge makes reference to "Egypt" - they all say "Egyptian", including this card. So I'm trying to understand why the extra identifier "Egypt" was added in the REG.

Thanks,

If Enslaved by Egypt said "Cannot be negated if any Egyptian Site is in play" then BotN/PC would meet the requirement.

I wish that could be errated or a revision to Enslaved by Egypt would come out in the next set...With three Egypts and BoN/PC I'm just a tad short. I usually play it with four Egypts. I depend on getting one Egypt site early and with four I usually do, but with only three my chances are not so good...

Oh well, I guess it is what it is... probably need to update the REG.

REG nationality identifiers name the civilization in noun form, not in adjective form. You'll see Babylonia, Assyria, Rome, Media-Persia, etc. rather than Babylonian, Assyrian, Roman, Medo-Persian, etc. It's not a typo, it's a design decision.
