Title: Blue Tassels: A Protect or a Prevent?
Post by: Red Wing on November 18, 2011, 12:02:07 PM

Is Blue Tassels a Protect ability or a Prevent? In the SA, it says prevent, but in the Play as, it says Protect. From just reading the special ability, it kind of sounds like a restrict to me.  :dunno:

Blue Tassels (Pa)

Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: No character may be captured. Prevents Unholy Writ. • Play As: Protect all characters from capture abilities. Prevent Unholy Writ. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Numbers 15:38 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Uncommon)

I'm pretty confident that it is a protect.  I will chalk the "prevent" part to archaic language and game mechanics.

It is a protect in general from capture.

It is also a prevent, but only against the specific card "Unholy Writ".
