Title: Acts 16:22 LS
Post by: Josh on April 14, 2015, 07:30:44 AM

My opponent has the new TEC LS (Acts 16:22) in his territory.  I activate Confusion of Mind as an artifact.  Does this trigger the LS' ability, even if my opponent chooses not to discard 2 good enhancements or a good Dominant? 

Acts 16:22 LS - If an opponent's special ability targets your hand, he must discard a card from his territory (except a Lost Soul).

Confusion of Mind - Negate all special abilities on opponents’ Heroes. An opponent may discard two good Enhancements (or a good Dominant) from hand to discard this card. Cannot be negated.

That's a good question, though I would say that unless it actually occurs (the discard from hand, I mean), then there is no targeting.  The opponent has a choice to trigger that ability, and if they do then it targets their hand (and the LS kicks in).

Be interested to see if anyone has the alternate interpretation.
