Death & Hades (Wa)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Pale Green • Ability: 8 / 8 • Class: None • Special Ability: Reduce opponent's hand to 7 cards until this character is discarded (or 9 cards if rescuer has Tables of the Law activated). • Play As: Your hand size is -1. • Identifiers: NT Male Demon • Verse: Revelation 6:8 • Availability: Warriors booster packs (Rare)
According to my reading of the Play As, it sets the variable "hand size" to -1, which doesn't seem possible.
Remember, this is a card game...not a scientific experiment. :P
Yes, this is a real question. Also: Greatest Zeb deck ever.

That Play As is one of the ones that needs an update to make it clearer. It's supposed to be interpreted as: "Your hand size is 1 less than it would normally be."
-
So, if I have 11 cards in hand, and my opponent blocks with DnH, do I:
A.) Immediately discard my hand down to 7
B.) At the end of my turn, reduce my hand to 7
-
End of your turn
-
End of your turn
Correct
-
If Death & Hades is still around of course.
-
Unless you negated his ability wouldn't it work for the turn?
Or if you are discarded in a different phase for an ability that is supposed to work later would it be negated or not?
Or would it cancel out that phase?
-
It's because of the (until character is discarded) part. Hope you've got a KotW handy.
-
or u could remove your own death and hades with freedom
-
Something else that is missing from the play as:
"opponent's"
