Title: Targeting cards outside of combat
Post by: SwiftxRedemption on September 13, 2015, 10:38:56 PM

Can you target cards outside of combat without a territory being specified? For instance, AotL reads 'Discard an evil character.' Could this target a character outside of combat?

Yes.  AoTL can target any EC in play (even yours) so long as they aren't protected from it.

So I am assuming CM would work the same way? What about enhancements that read this way without specifying a territory?

If it doesn't specify a location (battle, territory, set aside, hand, deck, discard pile), most abilities (if not all) default to play. That means, with discard for example, if it doesn't say where, you can discard any of that card in play, which includes battle and territory.

Oh wow. I have certainly been playing that wrong. Thanks for the clarifications.
