Here is my question:  What is the difference between these two abilities.  Cards like Ambush specifically say "set aside A hero" while cards like provsions say "set Hero aside".  It seems to me like Ambush can set anyone aside while Provisions can only set the hero that it was played on aside.  What is the actual rule?

Thanks,

Ambush

Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Red • Ability: None • Class: None  • Play As: Set aside a male Hero (face down) from your hand for one turn. Hero returns to territory face down. Hero enters battle face down with access to any site. When opponent presents an Evil Character in battle or chooses not to block, Hero is flipped face up.

Provisions

Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Green • Ability: None • Class: None • Errata: Set Hero aside for 2 turns. On return, holder may draw 2 cards, and hero gains the special ability (for hero’s next rescue attempt only) “Holder may choose the Evil Character opponent uses to block.”

I asked roughly the same question a while back on the board, and the official answer from Stephen, Bryon, and others is that there is no difference.

Unfortunately there is some problem that started within the past couple of days related to searching or post retention and I cannot find the link.

When I first used a Provisions abuse deck at a tourney, Bryon confirmed that "set hero aside" on Provisions allows any hero to be set aside.

k thx everyone!  Just double checking.

Thanks Tim!  That totally makes sense!

Correct, sorry for the late reply
