Title: Generous Widow question
Post by: asrgimli on May 16, 2014, 10:23:21 AM

If I make a rescue attempt with Generous Widow and have Chamber of Angels in play, would I be able to put 2 angels from my hand into Chamber of Angels and then draw two?  As far as I can tell, her ability is not a cost-benefit, and if I'm thinking right, it doesn't matter where the angels are discarded from, they still go to Chamber, don't they?

Generous Widow- All players discard two cards from hand and draw two cards. Cannot be negated.

Chamber of Angels- Set this fortress aside. If holder’s angel is being discarded, place it here instead. After two turns, return Hero to the top of your draw pile.

You are correct that Generous Widow is not a cost-benefit (if you had 0 cards in hand you could still draw 2, for example) so I believe you are correct that you could discard 2 angels and then draw 2 cards. I believe Chamber insteads angels from any location (which is not the norm) but I'm not 100% sure.

That is the way Chamber works.

Concur with the common sentiment here, that is the ruling.  If it were cost-benefit, it would be different, but the discarded angels instead go to Chamber, and you still D2.

Thanks, I just wanted to double-check.

Wow, that is a smart combo!
