Title: Crown of Thorns
Post by: CJStormTrooper on September 01, 2008, 09:04:54 PM
Cards used in this example are common, so abilities aren't really necessary.  :P

I have High Priest's Palace in play, along with Crown of Thorns active. I block with a 1/3 Sadducee which is at 1/0. Does that E.C. die after battle, since it was at */0 at the end of battle and High Priest's Palace only protects in territory?

Thanks,
Ben

Alright thanks.

And, I just now realized I was logged in as Chad's account.  ::)

I was under the impression that only cards in territory were discarded if they had 0 or lower toughness.

If no enhancements with toughness are played.

If High Priest's Palace is active, then saducees in territory that are currently 1/3 should still be able to be decreased and discarded by Crown of Thorns.

High Priests' Palace protects those Sadducees from discard while in territory.

Oh so it protects them being discarded from being decreased as well. I thought so but I wasn't sure.

They're still 1/0, but they are protected from the rule that characters with toughness 0 or below are discarded. (At the end of battle, though, those that aren't in territory and at 1/0 are still trashed.)
