Title: John the Apocalyptist Question
Post by: bmc25 on July 07, 2017, 10:31:02 AM: "May use John and Revelation Enhancements. John and enhancements from John and Revelation played on him cannot be negated."

What does it mean by "John"? Does it mean the Gospel of John as well as 1-3 epistles of John?

This may be a stupid question, but I just wanted to double check.

Thanks.

Doesn't mean I am right though lol

This is how I thought it was intended to be played. It makes sense, but I wanted to be sure.

Post by: Kevinthedude on July 07, 2017, 11:03:49 AM: This is yet another example of card text being card language and not just words. John says he can use "John" enhancements and "Revelation" enhancements. This means he can use enhancements that have a reference from exactly the books John and Revelation. It says nothing on the card about 1 2 or 3 and you can't just add text to a card because it seems like it fits.

If you look at the list of cards from 1 John, 2 John and 3 John, that's also pretty lame... ::)

We considered it, but felt it really didn't add much to the card.

Overcome is a thing.

Overcome is a thing we didn't think needed to be any stronger than it already is... ::)
