Scribe (Di)

In the discard pile Captured Ark is at face value, which makes it a Curse. You cannot choose to target it as an Enhancement with Scribe. Golgotha + Abraham's Descendant works though.

I thought Curses/Covenants were always treated as both until activated as one or the other....?

actually until you choose which one to use them as they are treated as neither. in the draw/discard pile they are cov/curses at face value so you can't search for/get them with anything that targets artifacts or enhancements.

Covenant cards and curse cards are treated as enhancements cards when used in a battle.  They are treated as artifacts when used on an artifact pile.  Covenant cards and curse cards are not treated as enhancements or artifacts when they are in a draw pile, a discard pile, or a player’s hand; they are treated as covenant cards or curse cards.

The REG and I agree with Gabe and Ryupeco11

that reg statement cant be entirely accurate; i was told by sir nobody that you could discard a covenant/curse to uzzah's effect from hand.

This is also true.

Basically if you are searching for a curse/covenant, or if your opponent is trying to target them (ie. to discard them), then they are only curse/covenants.  But if you have already drawn one then you get to decide how to use it.  Therefore you can decide to treat it as an art/curse/covenant and put it in your artifact pile (or discard it for Uzzah).  Or you can decide to treat it as an enh/curse/covenant and put it in battle, or storehouse (or discard it for Zimri).

Can I search for a covenant with moses and elders?

Moses and Elders (Pa)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: White • Ability: 2 / 2 • Class: None • Special Ability: Search your discard pile for any good card, except a Dominant or Artifact card, and put it into your hand. • Play As: Search your discard pile for any good card, except a Dominant or Artifact card, and place it into your hand. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Exodus 18:21 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Ultra Rare)

What about with lost coin found?

Lost Coin Found (Ap)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: White • Ability: 2 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Holder may search discard pile for any good enhancement worth 3/3 or less. • Play As: Holder may search discard pile for any good enhancement worth 3/3 or less and put it hand. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Luke 15:8 • Availability: Apostles booster packs (Uncommon)

For some reason I was under the impression that I couldnt place a curse on Golgotha...

Can I play Great Faith and pull out a covenant?

Moses and Elders - Yes, it only says good card ( non-Dom, non-Art) and a Cov fits that's description.

Lost Coin - No, in the discard pile a Cov is only a Cov

Golgotha - Yes, it was purposefully worded to allow EEs and Curses by saying "skull icon". Golgotha is "the place of the skull" after all. Let the recursion begin!

Great Faith - No, I think it just says enhancement.
