There I made your deck smaller and I think that I kept the concept.

The New Covenant

jbeers285 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 30, 2012, 03:51:03 PM »

ok can you explain how The New Covenant works with the heal ability?

does that mean any of my heroes who are in the discard pile return?

Nameless · « **Reply #6 on:** March 30, 2012, 04:30:26 PM »

No, it is like if they play CM you can put it under your deck to bring your hero back to your territory instead of being discarded.

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #7 on:** March 30, 2012, 08:42:11 PM »

Heal abilities work on any character (of the proper alignment) who has been discarded at any point during that turn. Some cards, like Torment, only target one character. Others, like Brass Serpent or The New Covenant, can heal all heroes that were discarded that turn.

jbeers285 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2012, 03:40:21 PM »

So even if like Santa's wrath hammers all your NT heroes the new cove will heal them all

That's pretty good to know plus magi could search for it over and over

Actually they can't.

Wings of Music · « **Reply #10 on:** April 01, 2012, 12:10:28 PM »

yup hartz is correct, the Magi can't get it because the new cov is a covenant not an artifact, and the magi only search for artifacts.

That's actually wrong, as far as I know. If you're searching deck for an artifact, you can pull a Covenant or a Curse. I'm about 80% sure about this.

I think the ruling goes along these lines: If you are searching for a covenant, you can get it only if you are searching for a covenant. If you are playing a covenant, then it can be a covenant, enhancement, or artifact. That's why you can use Go Into Captivity for Zimri's cost but you can't recur it with Imitating Evil, for example.

If you want someone to keep getting it back on loop, use Salome.

To answer everyone, I'd love to quote the REG...but it is down. The REG states that Covenants can be targeted as either enhancements or Covenants until they are played (that is, in hand or deck or discard). Once they hit the table, they take on their identifier based on where they are played (that is, only when you put it in your artifact pile is it an artifact, and it is only an enhancement if played as one).

...course I can't get you the rule for that until the REG is back up -_______-

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2012, 08:15:17 PM »

Pretty sure that's wrong.

jbeers285 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2012, 09:10:50 PM »

Is there a way to get a definite ruling either?

Just effects the style of a new deck I wanna try out

Thanks to everyone

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #20 on:** April 03, 2012, 09:14:16 PM »

That's the ruling. Curses/Covenants can only be targeted as a Curse/Covenant while in deck.
