Title: Targeting immunity/protection?
Post by: slugfencer on July 15, 2010, 04:51:37 PM: Assyrians in opponents territory with camp setup.
Luke Hero attacks and is blocked by immune EC. Hero plays meeting the Messiah. Can meeting the Messiah target the immune EC or assyrians in territory protected by camp and then do nothing? Or is MTM not able to target them and you have to target your own unprotected EC?
Thanks!

Meeting the Messiah
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Yellow • Ability: 2 / 2 • Class: None • Special Ability: If used by a Luke or John Hero, convert a human Evil Character to a gold Hero. Its owner must draw two cards. •

Assyrian Camp
Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect Assyrian Evil Characters in your territory from discard, conversion, and capture unless King Hezekiah is in play or set aside. •

There is no 'may convert' so if there is one he can target he would have to.

Your thoughts?

You have to target a non-Immune/Protected card if available. That has been the rule for ages.

No. But it has been the rule since around the Civil War, a few years before you were born.

No. The person who draws two is the person who's EC was converted. When no one is converted, no one draws two.
