Title: Philosophy
Post by: CountFount on January 21, 2009, 02:11:39 PM: In deck building, is it classified as a good card or an evil card?

Both, thus functionally it is counted as a neutral card.

So it counts as neither good nor evil until it is used as either?

Technically, it counts as both. You could discard it from your hand to satisfy the requirements of cards like I Am Holy or King Zimri.

Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on January 21, 2009, 08:38:21 PM: I think the logic behind that is that Phil is both good and evil at the same time. A cov or curse is used only as 1. Once say it is used as an art, it cannot be used as a enh and loses that identifier.

Post by: BubbleBoy on January 21, 2009, 08:40:40 PM: I think curses/covs being able to be used as artifacts is very strange in the first place...but whatever.

Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on January 21, 2009, 08:41:35 PM: isn't that makes a curse a curse (or a cov a cov) in the first place? The ability to be used as an art? lol

No, because a Curse at face value is a Curse, which is then used in one of two ways. Philosophy at face value is both an evil Enhancement and a good Enhancement.
