See...now I have to go back and look.   


Okay, what I'm reading from RR's description is that he had an interrupt to play on Anti where in our game you could have interrupted with the Tartan but you didn't have a PG interrupt.

However, it still follows Schaef's order in his original post.

What would have mirrored our situation is if you Glittering Sworded Prince of Greece (don't even know if possible) and AoTL Antichos  THEN he couldn't play his interrupt because the gray EC is gone.

does that make sense?

Ok if I block with POGreece to anti the 4th, he d/cs a diff hero for the ability then plays glit sword vs my Anti the 4th then aotls my POgreece, I can inturupt his sword with namaans horses can I not?

Numbers would have been nice on this question.  I don't see here or elsewhere where the Heroes in battle were listed so I just have to wing it.

The two ECs are 6/6 and 11/10.  So if the Hero(es) with the additional 3/2 from Sword brings their numbers to 6 or higher offense, or 7 or higher defense, initiative passes to the blocker.  In that case the opportunity to play Horses is still there.  If the Hero numbers are less than 6/7, then the Hero retains initiative after the discard of Antiochus, and Horses cannot be played after AotL is played since it couldn't be played before.

I'm pretty sure the Hero was Widow who ended up dying a martyr's death.

  Doh!  Third time's a charm.  Maybe I'll get this right next time it comes up in a game.

That's a good point Schaef...I didn't even think to ask for the heroes numbers...that would change things.

The hero was widow. Making widows offense 6/5 with G sword.

This may not answer the question, but rather could help prevent such confusion.
as a player, when ever a SA is activated by my doing an action, placing a Character or Enhancement, I read what the card does and any effects it may cause, and the ask my oppenant...Can you Interupt or Negate this SA? (If yes...NOW is the time to do it...if NO, SA does what it does...) and we continue to the next phase of play.

I ended up not reading the last two pages, so forgive me if the question has already been answered, but:

Bryon has always told me that you always check for initiative after a card is played. When you RA with, say, a 6/6 hero and your opponent blocks with a 1/1, they have to ask for initiative in case you want to play AoTL. If you don't play AoTL, then they can carry on with their enhancements. I think soul seeker's second question is the same case. After his Widow is blocked by Tartan and Unclean Spirit, he asks for initiative (in case Gabe wants to play CM), then plays Battle Prayer and Fishers of Men to convert Tartan. Gabe must now ask for initiative to play his interrupt/negate, and soul seeker denies it because he has an available Angel of the Lord to play on Unclean Spirit.
