Title: Sleep
Post by: Scoobug on January 13, 2012, 07:30:57 PM

Sleep is a white brigade hero enhancement whose special ability reads " Set Hero aside. Hero gains 1/1 for every turn Hero sleeps. Discard after Hero awakes." What is the point of setting a hero aside and even increasing him, when you just have to discard him when he awakes? Is it just me or is this card totally pointless?

You're not discarding the hero, you're discarding the enhancement. The card was made at a point where the wording was sloppy.

Oh! I just misread it because it's a little old. Thank you.
