Title: Primary Objective cost
Post by: Red Wing on September 13, 2016, 06:13:55 PM: If I play Primary Objective with less than seven cards in hand, do I still discard my hand and select a soul?

Primary Objective-
If making a rescue attempt, discard hand (minimum 7 cards) and select a lost soul in opponent’s Land of Bondage. Opponent must discard hand or holder rescues that lost soul. Battle continues as a battle challenge.

That's what I was thinking too, but I wasn't sure.

Post by: Michael_of_the_Star on September 14, 2016, 02:24:59 AM: Wasn't there a ruling saying that if the card's targets a specific target, but if the target is unavailable, that ability does not trigger? So therefore, Primary Objective first targets the owner's hand which is "minimum of 7 cards", if you don't even have that, then you cannot even discard your entire hand.
