Title: Enemies Descending
Post by: SomeKittens on January 23, 2011, 01:39:11 PM: 3/4 Grey (I think that's the hand discard brigade) Curse
Every time an opponent discards a card from hand (except during discard phase), you may discard a card of the same type to draw two.

Yesterday.

"Every time your opponent Discards a card from hand (except during Discard Phase) you may Discard a card of the same type."

Maybe I'm missing something obvious (probably), but I don't see how this would be at all useful for you to want to do. Orange I could maybe see, but not gray.

Also, evil enhancements don't get above 6 in total numbers, so it should probably be either 2/4 or 3/3.

Post by: Minister Polarius on January 24, 2011, 10:43:43 AM: Ah, I think I see what he was getting at now. Did you mean "every time you Discard a card from opponent's hand...?"

Post by: SomeKittens on January 24, 2011, 11:14:31 AM: Mostly. But it can also be a counter to such cards as Egyptian Warden.

Post by: Alex_Olijar on January 24, 2011, 12:21:51 PM: It wouldn't really be a counter, but more of a check (to use Pokemon terms).
Title: Re: Enemies Descending
Post by: Minister Polarius on January 24, 2011, 12:37:44 PM: The wording for what you want would be "Any time a card is Discarded from (an?) opponent's hand..."

This is not the wording you are looking for.
