Title: Scapegoat Question
Post by: Ehud Cubed on March 04, 2009, 05:59:41 PM

If I had Book of the Law active when I played Scapegoat, would Scapegoat be discarded like any other enhancement after battle? Or would the protection from Book of the Law keep Scapegoat from working?
Scapegoat

Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Teal • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If used by a High Priest, remove this card from the game to negate and discard all evil Enhancements and Curses in play. Cannot be negated. • Identifiers: OT, Offering • Verse: Leviticus 16:10 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Rare)

Book of the Law

Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect your good O.T. Enhancements in play, draw pile, discard pile, and set-aside area from being removed from the game. • Identifiers: OT, Temple Item • Verse: II Kings 22:8 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Rare)

I think it would not allow Scapegoat to work, as you must remove it from the game for the S.A. to work. being as you cannot, the S.A. doesn't work.

it is a do A to do B which means that you must do A to have B happen.  +1 with RW

I concur.  Technically, Scapegoat can be physically played for kicks, but the artifact stops Scapegoat's ability to remove itself from the game.  It would be discarded at end of battle after being a 0/0 enhancement.

On a side note, I hope to never play a deck made by Ehud Cubed.  The idea of a deck with two Ehuds is way too scary for me.

Fail.  two =/= cubed.  Fail.


Yes, I'm being picky, but it is my job.  Well, it isn't, but it should be.  Well, it shouldn't be, but I do it anyway.   =D

Oh, I meant to say two different Ehuds.  Which I think does qualify for cubed.

That would be Ehud x 2 or 2 Ehuds. Ehud cubed would be Ehud x Ehud x Ehud.
Oh, and Ehud squared =/= 2x Ehud

Ahh well. I guess it COULD be used for Chenaniah or something (unless that specifies evil)

Oh, duh.  I was thinking squared (Ehud x Ehud).

Math is hard...

Or it could be a base 20 number. Just convert it to base 10 and cube. ;D
