Title: New lost soul question
Post by: jbeers285 on December 04, 2014, 01:46:06 PM
Opponent uses King Solomon to view my hand and place a fort in territory.  Will the soul force him to blow up the fort if it's the only card in territory or not?

Ability for reference:
"If an opponent's special ability targets your hand, he must discard a card from his territory (except a Lost Soul)."

The ability cannot insert itself between other abilities.  Therefore, it completes after all Hero abilities are finished activating.  At that moment (so after the fort was put in play in this case), it completes and forces the discard.  It does not happen at the moment of the Look, since it cannot insert between all of the activating Hero abilities.

By the time it does complete, the fort is a legal target, and must be discarded if there is no other option.

My personal name for it is "Sacrifice."  The image is of sacrifice, and they have to sacrifice a card to target your hand.

For the sake of everyones' middle fingers (or index fingers depending on who you ask) that have to scroll down to posts that follow this one, posts such as that should portrayed by a "+ 1" instead of an entire post.
