Title: Covenant with Phineas
Post by: BeaverQB on January 15, 2021, 08:52:09 AM

Had Covenant with Phineas (Teal enhancement/artifact: "Protect your Priests from the House of Eleazar from discard abilities on evil cards") active as my artifact when attacking with a Teal priest that was from the House of Eleazar.

Opponent played Christian Martyr (evil dominant: "Discard a Hero") to discard my Priest.

I tried to say that my artifact prevented my priest from being discarded, because Christian Martyr was an evil card.

Opponent said dominants aren't affected by my artifact.

I conceded, but still think I was right.  Can anyone help?

You're correct.

A little note on this, when you say CwP "prevented" your priest from discarded isn't quite accurate.  It protects him from being discarded.  I only say this because prevent is an actual ability, and dominants cannot be prevented/interrupted/negated.
