Title: ...AND Another One...
Post by: Minion of Jesus on December 22, 2014, 05:16:49 PM

Does Chemosh decrease the chosen hero every turn, or just once when the hero is initially targeted?

On each of the holder's upkeep phases, Chemosh decreases the EC set aside by 0/1.  The holder then selects a hero to decrease 0/2.  This happens each time, independent of prior choices (that is, you can choose different ones each turn).  The decrease happens once for each of the occurrences, and is permanent.

I'm fairly certain that the wording of this card does not allow you to activate it on opponents' upkeeps...but it is an odd wording to be sure...

I believe it has been ruled that the default for "each upkeep" refers to just the upkeep of the player controlling the card. A card must specifically reference an opponent's upkeep to trigger then (Seven Years of Famine).

Okay, that is not as good as I thought it was. Too bad.
