Title: I need help with this scenario...
Post by: spicynumber1 on May 19, 2010, 03:09:17 AM
I had a question regarding redemption that has been bothering me, Could someone please help me out? Thanks :)

If you have Confusion of the mind in play and your opponent uses Michael to try and do a rescue attempt, would the Confusion of the Mind negate Michael's ability?
(even though Micheal's ability said it cannot be negated but Confusion of the Mind says its effect can not be negated too)

Michael is not trying to Negate Confusion of Mind. Confusion of Mind is trying to Negate Michael but it can't. Michael wins.

Just to clarify, abilities that grant CBN status, such as Michael, are also CBN.

There are 3 Michaels.  If it is one of the 2 warrior-class ones (The angel wars one and the other one), then can't the special ability be negated, because the 3rd Michael specifies that "Michael and all enhancements played with Michael cannot be prevented, negated, interrupted, or redirected" which suggests to me that the other Michaels' abilities can be negated...  This is indeed quite confusing to me.

The SAs on all three Michaels are CBN, despite the differences in wording.  There was a lot of unnecessary clarifying text in Warriors that they decided to remove in later cards.

Ok, so then my copy of Michael the non-warrior class with the additional wording is actually NOT the best one to have... Well, good to know.  Looks like I need to order a WC Michael.  :-\
