Title: Lampstand of the Sanctuary
Post by: juhnkect on May 19, 2009, 07:51:31 PM: sa: "Protect all cards not in battle from evil Dominants (grim-reaper icon cards)"

Does lampstand protect rescued LS in LoR from Falling Away?

I think I'm going to replace my GoYS, if so.

but it can be easily taken down by Lyiing unto god and numerous other art killing enhancements

A dominant can be played at any time. When Lampstand is active there won't be a legal target so those three dominants would have no effect if played.

True, I should have been more clear. Those three evil dominants can still be discarded to fulfill an enhancement requirement, they can be played (for no effect) at any time to reduce the number of cards in your hand. They will just have no legal targets to go after.

I'm glad you asked this question, I had forgotten about blocking Falling Away with LotS.

Post by: The Schaef on May 21, 2009, 12:14:02 AM: The ability specifies all cards not in battle. That means all locations other than the Field of Battle, and locations can be in or out of play.
