Title: How does this work?
Post by: Red Wing on October 13, 2011, 12:28:16 PM: I make a rescue attempt with Ashael and I choose Babylonian Forces to block. Since Bab forces negates Special Abilities on red heroes, does my opponent get to block with a different EC?

Correction, you could use the Ehud from Rock of Ages to choose KoT, but the one from patriarchs can only choose a human.

nitpicking aside, I CTB being effectively CBI is what I've been taught too (how I was "taught" is someone did choose my KoT with Ehud when I didn't know they could do that)

Post by: Minister Polarius on October 13, 2011, 01:04:52 PM: Everyone is correct with one caveat. Pre-block CTB is CBI. If you attack with Joseph, get blocked by someone, then play Obedience of Noah, they can negate it.
