Title: Job (regional) question with Endurance of Job
Post by: h20tor on July 04, 2017, 06:54:41 PM: Might be a silly question, but I just wanted to make sure:

Can Job search out Endurance of Job (from discard pile or Reserve)?
Normally it would say with a Job reference, but this promo does not. Since Endurance of Job is a good card and says 'Job' in the title, is this a valid target?

Job:
"Protect Job from Capture and discard. If Job begins a rescue, you may exchange an evil card in hand with a good Job card in discard pile or Reserve. Cannot be negated."

Endurance of Job's reference is James 5:11.

At least that's what the REG seems to say. I'd argue that AoCP is a Matthew card despite not having a Matthew reference, but it's not listed. Of course, the only card that needs that entry is Matthew (Di), which specifies Matthew reference. The wording is a bit inconsistent between REG entries - some say "found in the book of X" and some say "X reference", but I don't have time to look up which referring cards use which wording.

Regardless, I think "X Card" and "Card with X reference" mean basically the same thing except for referenceless cards which are the former but not the latter.

I knew it would be too good to be true =]

We've discussed revisiting the idea of giving reference-less cards "errata-ed" references, but if a change did happen it would be with the 5.0 REG update released after this upcoming Nationals.

Yes! Please give King David a reference!
