Title: Death of Firstborn
Post by: megamanlan on April 21, 2017, 12:47:49 PM

I'm trying to sure I know what this card does... so does Death of Firstborn ignore or withdraw EC's?

Death of Firstborn
2/2 Silver Enhancement
Exodus 12:29
Immunity on all characters is negated. Blocking Evil Character refuses to block. Opponent must present a new blocker or rescue attempt is successful.

I almost think it's an Ignore, but then again it has that last effect... so I'm not sure. Also, this only kicks out 1 EC and not all right?

I believe it's a withdraw/present (like Goliath) and you are correct it only withdraws one Evil Character. If there is still an Evil Character in battle after the one withdraws, the present ability has no effect.

I was sortof thinking that as well with that last line. It would have been stronger as a Withdraw all, but still not a bad way to get around Protection.

So does the defender choose which EC is withdrawn when there are two or more ECs in battle?

No, the rescuing player would get to choose which EC is targeted.
