City on a Hill

Good Fortress

"Protect all cards from set aside abilities. Return all set aside cards to owner's territory at face value. Discard all set aside enhancements."

Identifier: May hold one active Every Man's Sword

Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."

May I ask why it can hold an almost completely useless artifact?

Actually, one of the players here put it in his deck because of my lovely battle challenges with HT active or Gabriel :)

I also don't understand the holding of Every Man's Sword (which should technically be Every Mans' Sword). There are also a few logistical problems:

When does this Fortress activate? It has one ongoing ability and (two? one with a clarification that causes confusion?) instant ability(s).

Is the last sentence supposed to refer only to cards that were set aside when the second sentence happens? As written, whenever this Fortress would activate (see previous), it would Discard He Is Risen, Two Possessed by Demons etc. in Storehouse.

"Owner's" should be "Owners'."

How would this interact with Job? Dust and Ashes has a Set-Aside ability, and Job can be protected from it because while Dust and Ashes is set-aside, Job is not.

As written, this card would allow you to erase experience credit by setting aside a Hero in Kereth Ravine and playing this card. Idk if that was intended, but T2 is often not taken into consideration in new card ideas.

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I don't think that is true. "Every man" is singular. Also, mans is not a word. I'm just an engineer, not a wordsmith, but I have never seen mans' written anywhere (until today of course).

You're right, it should actually be "All Men's Sword." Posting late at night woo! Every Man's Sword would be thousands of swords.

No, I think "Every Man's Sword" would mean that one sword is owned by every man, right?

But, "Every Man's Swords" would just be gramatically incorrect.

And, "All Men's Swords," as stated, would be good.  :)

I think.

If it was All Men's Swords, then it could hold Eleazar's Sword. EPIC!

So the identifier would say:

This fortress may hold and activate one good weapon-class enhancement.

OH YEAH! I think this could be a cool fortress...

"May hold any number of good weapon-class enhancements. After an enhancement has been on this fortress for 2 turns, you may activate it on any hero, regardless of brigade or warrior-class abilityness (need some rewording, you guys get the point)."

I don't think it'd be abused, I mean there's not very many good warrior class enhancements, just like E's Sword and Warrior's Spear.
