Title: De-activating an artifact
Post by: Korunks on August 18, 2009, 03:11:10 PM: Can you deactivate an artifact and not activate a new one? I cannot find anything in the REG our rule book about deactivation.

"Only one artifact, covenant, or curse in the artifact pile may be active at a time. Once per turn, you may select one artifact, covenant, or curse to be activated and flip it face up on your artifact pile. The face up artifact, covenant, or curse becomes active and cannot be changed until your next turn. To change the activated artifact, covenant, or curse, you select it and place it face up on the artifact pile and return the other artifact, covenant, or curse face down in the artifact pile. If you choose to have no artifacts, covenants, or curses activated, you may turn the top artifact, covenant, or curse face down."

Post by: FresnoRedemption on August 18, 2009, 05:59:44 PM: Here's a question: If you have an artifact which has an ability that is only used when it's activated, can you de-active it and re-activate it in the same turn to use the ability again? Or do you have to wait until the next turn to re-activate it? The curse I have in mind is Go Into Captivity, which states that upon activation if there's an Egyptian in play, opponent (or each opponent, I forget which) must discard the top card of their draw pile; if it's a Lost Soul, it goes into play immediately.

Sorry, it's just that I've lost track of my rulebook. It's around here somewhere; I'll look for it.
