Does Speech allow you to negate TC enhancements?

I like the Fruit theme. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them.

Why is Joy not a simple 7/0 enhancement?

Because then you could recur it with Ethiopian Treasurer.

Perhaps more importantly, it's a permanent increase and none of the other Fruits seem to have numbers.

Coming of the Spirit to give Thaddeus Clay brigade, Joy to give him 7/0 and make his ability CBN. Noice.

Speech is a nice way to stop Belshazzar's Banquet and similar Lost Soul protectors.

Making Joy a 7/0 enhancement would not accomplish the increase effect, unless it was a weapon. Placed cards do not contribute any abilities/numbers they have to the card they are placed on.

It also doesn't appear to be a permanent increase. The colon (:) on the card is shorthand for "While placed," so the increase would fall off if Joy is removed from the Hero (much like the protection and CBN-granting part).

In case anyone was wondering if this is an actual rule, it is:

Clarifications
 An ongoing ability paired with a place ability has an implied condition of “while the placed card remains in the placed
location.”
 A colon ( following a place ability is interpreted as: “while this card remains placed in its original location.”

Colons look a little different than I thought they did.

I heard Thaddius will be played differently depending on what server you're playing on.

This thread is now about Naxx.

Honestly since the released a bunch of card previews today, its kinda fitting.

Alright guys, I may not moderate this section, but let's try to keep this on-topic. You can post all you want about HS in the video games section.

DrowningFish · « **Reply #40 on:** July 22, 2014, 04:59:49 PM »

I find it ironic that we already need a ruling on colons and cards before the card is even out and playable yet. Haha

The colon "ruling" has existed for several sets, it's not new with this card. We were just clarifying that the increase was not, in fact, permanent.

Yes, as excited I am about Naxx, keep this on topic and talk about colons instead. :p

TheJaylor · « **Reply #43 on:** July 22, 2014, 08:11:11 PM »

Colons are typically around 5 feet long and 3 inches in diameter.

Daniel · « **Reply #44 on:** July 22, 2014, 08:45:33 PM »

I thought Colons were banned?

It is a computer card game that several Redemption players play. To keep the topic from being derailed again, I will not mention it here. However, you will find its name in the Video Game section of the boards.

That will be cool if it works like that. Is there any major differences between this card and covenant of noah in effectiveness? Can these cards stop DOU or I thought cove of noah couldnt work vs DOU?

Covenant with Noah negates an enhancement under default targeting. It cannot target DOU by the time it resolves, because it is out of play. Speech negates last enhancement, so it can target out of play.

I thought they had done away with that distinction? Or is that only in special initiative?
