Title: Discarding Cards
Post by: Crashfach2002 on February 19, 2009, 10:21:02 PM

I just needed a little clarification, cards that discard cards don't actually stop something from happening right?  An example is Royal Priesthood "Discard an evil Enhancement or Curse in play.  Cannot be negated if used by a N.T.  Hero."  I'm guessing that it only gets rid of numbers of an evil card, but doesn't stop it from happening, like Just a Hireling "Discard your Sadducee or Pharisee to shuffle up to three Lost Souls into deck."

another question when you have a card that says discard a good card in hand, does that mean only crosses, bibles, and covenants or does it also include good dominants?

Heroes, Good Enhancements, Covenants, Lamb Icon Dominants, and Good Fortresses are good cards.

Ok, say Royal Priesthood is played and discards Go Into Captivity.  Can the ability of GIC still be used since it wasn't negated?  Or can it not be used since you can't technically discard it anymore?  Or can the discard from RP be used as the discard required in GIC?



Go Into Captivity

Type: Curse • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: 0 / 6 • Class: None • Special Ability: If your warrior class Evil Character is in battle, you may discard this card to capture a Hero. • Play As: When holder chooses, if your warrior class Evil Character is in battle then you may discard this card to capture a Hero.

That's what I was thinking.  I just wanted to me make sure.

Scottie had the right idea. It can't be used anymore because after it has been discarded, even though the SA is still active, you are unable to pay the cost to get the benefit.
