1) When thje card says that golaith (sp?) can retain as a weapon, does he have to be in battle to use that identifier?
2) For T2, if I have a unique ec out, can I place another copy face down in territory without having to discard one (ie when I use darkness or site guard special ability)?
It's sad that I haven't been able to play in so long that I doubt myself on these semi basic questions :(.
-
1. Yes, if it is an identifier
2. No, unless an elder has ruled otherwise.
-
I ask the second question because I remember it being said that face down cards are considered out of play.

Here is the discussion I recall. I found the Duplite Card rule out of the REG, so unless an elder has overruled it I'm assuming it is played that way.

Just to confirm that adotson85 is correct, cards that are out of play (including face down) still count towards duplicates
-
Thanks all :).
I've been tempted to make another T2 deck on RTS and wanted to see if I could use darkness/siteguard as a way to decrease my hand of duplicates. O well.

Laver is always an option

1. I actually don't think so.
For Goliath's Armor, the abilifier could activate outside of battle and you could place it on Goliath.
For Goliath's Spear, the ability could only be used in battle.

Goliath's Armor's identifier does not activate outside battle. Remember, for now, that most "Play As" in the REG are part of larger project to update the REG. The current wording on the card says "retain" which means the card had to be placed first. The "Play As" says "if placed" so it still has to be placed there first. Goliath's Armor does not "Place" itself anywhere.

Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 0 / 5 • Class: Weapon • Special Ability: Bearer is immune to purple brigade. Cannot be negated. • Play As: Bearer is immune to purple brigade. Cannot be negated. If placed on Goliath, Goliath may hold until discarded. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: I Samuel 17:5-6 • Availability: Faith of our Fathers booster packs (None)
According to the reg, it isn't the identifer, but the special ability. So it has to be in battle to activate.

Again, the REG is undergoing an overhaul. It is an identifier for now, and it says "retain."
