Okay, here is the scenario, I have no clue how this would end up resolving:
1) I make a Rescue Attempt with Eli the Priest.
2) My opponent blocks with Herod Agrippa 2
3) I play Furnace of God's Wrath to discard Herod Agrippa 2.
4) My opponent plays Swift Horses, followed by Escape to Egypt.
5) I play Deborah's Directive to interrupt the withdraw and band in Ibzan.
My questions:
(A) can Escape to Egypt retarget to include Ibzan?
(B) If the answer to A is no, then does furnace of God's Wrath re-activate on Ibzan, discarding Herod Agrippa 2?
-
I'm not positive on A. I'm fairly certain B is yes.

As far as I know, enhancement/character abilities only target the first time they are activated. Interrupting and changing the pool of targets either makes them carry out how they were already targeted (if one or more chosen targets are still targetable) or fizzle (if the chosen targets are gone or have protection from what's targeting them). The only exceptions are cards that target every/all of something as I think those do update to include new "targets".
-
yeah and id argue i only had one target available im supposed to target 2 if he adds the second target thru an interrupt i should be aloud to now do what my card says which is 2 targets
-
Cards cannot change targets after they are played. If someone uses a card that says "discard a Hero" and you interrupt it and protect that Hero from discard, your opponent cannot now choose a different Hero to discard. Same thing applies here. So only Eli is withdrawn, and Furnace is allowed to activate on Ibzan, discarding HAII.
-
I was gonna say what prof said. You can't change the target once played. so if something else isn't targeted into battle it can't be picked after it's interrupted

lovely so basically foiled again really beginning to hate this game post di

The rule that you can't change targets has been around much longer than Disciples. And I doubt this situation will come up very often anyway.
