Title: Chamber of Angels wording
Post by: Ninja Duck on October 07, 2011, 03:59:57 PM
"Set this fortress aside. If holder’s angel is being discarded, place it here instead. After two turns, return Hero to the top of your draw pile."

So if my fallen angel, evil angel, or Angel of the Lord is about to be discarded, i could put in chamber, then play A New Beginning and get it back in my deck.

Since it doesn't say "in the title," it is referring solely to the identifier "angel."

Quote from: REG
Angel

One possible role of a character (see Character’s Role and Gender ) is angel. Angels are non-human Heroes often depicted with wings.
Emphasis mine.

That would be pretty cool if you could do that, though.

This word "hero" proves that it's only the angel identifer, they are heroes.

That instance of the word proves only heroes go on top of deck with Chamber's ability, but that isn't what the OP was asking.

Well, he was asking if those non-hero cards go to Chamber, I think I answered that.  :)

Not really. The identifier of what is an angel matters here, not what Chamber says. This is consistent with the ruling for Fishing Boat (that Judas can be placed in it, but unless he's converted, cannot be put under or count for X). If "Angel" didn't have "Hero" has part of the identifier, then at the very least, Fallen Angel and Evil Angel would likely be able to go in Chamber, though as mentioned, they couldn't be put on top of the deck.

Evil angels are not angels, they are demons. It's the same reason why evil Salome can't be converted and use TGT.

So after we all finish debating who was the most right, and for the best reason, the final answer is "No."

This is false. If you read chamber, if angels did NOT have an identifier, Fallen angel would still NOT go because he's not a hero.

Actually, the hero in the return sentence is referring to those cards from the first sentence that are heroes. If there was a non-hero that was an angel, it would still go to Chamber (I think a recent thread had Innumerable in a situation such as this), however it would sit there indefinitely as the return only targets heroes.

Exactly. It would be the same logic behind why Judas can enter fishing boat. Boat holds 12 Disciples, however, only good Disciples can be placed under or counted for X. This is, however, a pretty wild hypothetical.

Evil "Angels" are never Angels in Redemption, even if they have "Angel" in the name. They are demons.

Just want to restate this as it seemed to be ignored. A non-hero angel is a contradiction according to the REG.

I'm well aware that this isn't actually possible, thanks.

My summary of this thread:
Person A: I'M RIGHT
Person B: I'M RIGHT, USING THE SAME REASONING
Person A: BUT I'M MORE RIGHT
Person B: THE REG SAYS I'M RIGHTEST.
etc.

It's not about being more right, it's about being right using the right reasoning. ;)

Well, this thread seems to have run out of productivity.
