Title: Damascus and Paul (P)
Post by: Red Wing on April 25, 2017, 04:08:44 PM
Does the Pharisee have to be grey?

Damascus
"When you play this Site, search deck or discard pile for a gray Syrian or Pharisee and play it."

Yes, gray applies to either identifier that Damascus can search out.

Since it doesn't specify a "gray Pharisee" then it would default to any character (including Paul, Nicodemus, etc) with the Pharisee identifier.

Update: Ok sorry. I was thinking the gray part only applied to a Syrian. So when it comes to Paul it looks like it can only search out the old Paul (Saul).

If the Pharisee did not have to be gray, it would read "a gray Syrian or a Pharisee."

Since that extra "a" is not there, the gray condition applies to both.

Yes, Damascus can definitely search out Saul/Paul.

Yeah I thought about that after. I was thinking of how the wording would be if it could search out any Pharisee and I figured it was as you said. Thanks for clarifying. :). This has come up before with other cards such as Every Man's Sword and some others.
