Title: King Hazael vs. Artifact
Post by: YourMathTeacher on April 05, 2010, 09:31:36 AM
Can an opponent discard a face-down artifact from pile, or does the King's SA only target in-play artifacts (or is this even a "targetting" issue)?


King Hazael
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Gray • Ability: 8 / 11 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: You may discard a gray brigade enhancement from hand to discard an O.T. Fortress or occupied Site. Opponent may discard one of his Artifacts instead.

The default target for all abilities is in play.  Since King Hazael's ability doesn't say Artifact Pile it can only target active Artifacts.

Well then, he can be a beast against site lock-out.

Thanks!   ;D

Yeah, King Hazael would be wonderful if he weren't a stupid Syrian. :P

Of course, this guy can be even more of a beast against site-lockout, in a more literal sense at that:

For the record, some people use Syrians quite effectively. They also have a more comprehensive protection fort than most other civilizations.

Exactly, If you can get around all the protection some groups have against capture, Syrians are pretty lights out!
