Title: Striking herod a life saver?
Post by: LordZardeck on January 17, 2012, 05:52:54 PM: Since "Striking Herod" interrupts the battle to discard a male ec, if that ec was currently using an enhancement that was discarding or otherwise harming my hero, does that mean I'm safe and i win the ra?

yep. if there is no character left in battle to play the enhancement on, it doesn't work.

Post by: browarod on January 17, 2012, 05:55:43 PM: That is correct. Interrupts pause other abilities and insert your ability before them. In this case, if you discard the only EC in battle, the enhancement has nothing to be used on and fizzles.

Negate does interrupt

They can play any card that negates/interrupts it.

EDIT: lp is correct.

Interrupt+Prevent=Negate.

Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on January 17, 2012, 07:22:50 PM: The fact it's 7/0 tends to be more useful than the interrupt and discard. At least for me. But I suppose talking about that is getting off topic :'(

Never thought about that. That makes me very excited to get it!

This is true, especially in the Cannot Be abilities.
