Title: When does Chariot of Fire Shuffle?
Post by: Alex_Olijar on January 23, 2011, 03:19:45 AM
Chariot of Fire (P)
Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Following your rescue attempt, return all Heroes in your discard pile to your draw pile. Shuffle draw pile. • Play As: Following your rescue attempt, search your discard pile for all Heroes and shuffle [return] them to your deck.

Does Chariot of Fire shuffle heroes after a Rescue Attempt or After the Battle phase has completed?

i.e would Chariot shuffle a hero after a battle but before a new battle (via Grapes)

This is actually interesting - They will shuffle after the first battle, however because of a little weird quirk with triggered abilities, you actually have to start the second battle first, and complete any hero abilities before Chariot shuffles.

The reason for this is because CoF is a triggered ability (Following a rescue) So it's trigger is met by grapes ending the first battle, but then it has to wait for Grapes to complete before it gets to activate, and Grapes doesn't complete until the new battle starts, at which point chariot shuffles, and your opponent can block.
