Title: Does Thaddius stop Besieging the City?
Post by: sepjazzwarrior on December 06, 2013, 04:41:46 PM

What does Besieging the City target for it's ability? Would Thad stop it?

Besieging the City (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Besieging_the_City_(Ki)) should work with Thaddeus.  As far as I'm aware, it is a restrict, which targets players.  Thaddeus does not protect players, so it works just fine.

Besieging the City - "Opponent may not draw cards or make a rescue attempt next turn. "

Thaddeus - "Protect all cards in play, set-aside area, Artifact piles, hands, and decks from Evil Characters with toughness X or less. Cannot be interrupted."

Thaddeus protects cards whereas I believe Besieging the City targets your opponent as a player (so I think it would be classified as a restrict). As such, I don't believe Thaddeus would protect from it since he doesn't protect his controller directly.
