Title: DD vs. Healing
Post by: redemptioncousin on January 28, 2010, 11:39:12 PM: Can you heal heroes with Brass Serpent or some other healing card as they are being by Darius' Decree's special ability?

I guess this doesn't apply just to Darius' Decree. It's simply asking if you can heal heroes while:

1. It's not your turn.
2. The heroes are in set-aside areas (not in play).

However a neat trick with DD - Because you can use it during your discard phase - do so, DD's other ability remains active, so they can't play thier Brass Serpent, then the turn ends and its to late.

Opponents may not play good Enhancements from hand, unless an Evil Character is in battle. You may discard this card to discard all Heroes in set-aside areas.

Basically I was just trying to make sure that there wasn't something my opponent could do to kill all my heroes without me having a say in it.

I guess LotS + DD with no battle would do that though... ugg
I'll have to think on that.
