Title: May be used twice in a multi-player game
Post by: Crashfach2002 on December 20, 2009, 03:29:02 PM

How do these cards work in multi-player?

Burial Shroud
Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Holder may not make a rescue attempt or be attacked. May be used twice. • Play As: Prevent holder from making a rescue attempt. Protect holder from being attacked. May be used twice. • Identifiers: None • Verse: John 20:4-5 • Availability: Apostles booster packs (Ultra Rare)

I am Salvation
Type: Covenant • Brigade: Green • Ability: 3 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Negate all special abilities on Lost Soul cards (except the "Lost Souls" card). May be used twice. • Identifiers: NT • Verse: John 3:16 • Availability: Angel Wars booster packs (Common)

Assyria's Tribute
Type: Artifact • Brigade: • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: While you are blocking with an Assyrian, negate all special abilities on Enhancements and Heroes. Cannot be negated during the battle phase. May be used twice per game. • Identifiers: None • Verse: II Kings 17:3 • Availability: Faith of Fathers (Set 7)

So do they work for two whole turns, or do they only work for the next two players?

Someone told me somewhere that limits of use applies individually. That is, Assyria's Tribute can be used a total of eight times in a four-player game: twice per person.

For the first two, an activation lasts until the holder's next preparation phase. For Assyria's Tribute, I have always read the word "you" to be the holder.

Hey,

Generally speaking, for artifacts, a "use" is an activation, and when you activate an artifact it works for one round.  So in each of those cases you may activate the artifact twice so you can get two rounds worth of use out of each of them.

It is per player. If it said per game like Jeptpha then yes it would be for one person.

Ok cool!  Also does I Am Salvation work for all players?  I would guess so just because it says nothing about holder.

It negates the special abilities regardless of who holds or owns them.
