Watchful Servant: X = # of cards in opponent's deckIt may not be the actual way it works but the logical way is that the Evil Characters of each player are ignored by a different requirement. So, for instance, I attack with Watchful Servant and my opponents have 8 and 10 cards left in their decks then I ignore the one player's ECs of toughness (or strength, I forget) greater than 8 and the other player's EC's of toughness greater than 10, respectively.
How does this interact with Teams? I know that territory is shared, but this seems different. My thought would be that it depends on which player blocks, so the opposing team's Goliath (belonging to a player with <10 cards left) would be ignored but not the other player's Red Dragon (if they have 20 cards left). Is this correct?
I thought abom was placed in opponent's territory; in theory couldn't the same player put one in each opponent's territory (again assuming Storehouse)? Or does teams work differently than I think it does?It's in the identifier
Okay, so the statement again with amended/new bits italicized:Yes, that's accurate, with the minor clarification that the "player (effectively the team, but not technically) that placed Abom" gets to discard one card. Everybody has their own territory and any cards in their territory (including Abom) except cards in Land of Bondage, Fortresses, and cards in Fortresses are not shared.
In Teams, if one teammate places Abomination of Desolation in an opponent's territory, it is considered in that opponent's territory. When that opposing player draws a card, the team that controls Abom may discard one card in that opponent's territory. If both teammates have an Abom in their deck, it is possible that both opponents can have Abom in their territory at the same time.
I'm sorry - I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand how this works.
