Does Dragon Raid specifically target "face down" cards?  No.  So can Dragon Raid target a "face down" card?  No.

Seems pretty simple to me.

Tschow,

So ANB does not shuffle cards face down in the Artifact Pile, correct?

ANB should be banned...it just causes so much trouble.  :P Though I think this one is easy!

A New Beginning:
"ALL players shuffle ALL cards in the field of play, set-aside areas and their hands back into their draw pile. Only cards in Land of Redemption and discard piles remain. ALL players Draw 8 new cards. Holder may begin a new turn"

Only cards in LoR and discard piles remain...are face down artifacts either one of those? No, so they get shuffled.

Maybe they were just not mentioned since SAs that do not specifically target face-down cards have no effect on face-down cards.

Seems pretty simple to me.  ;)

I see what your point is but I think they are two completely different situations...I don't think you can compare ANB to any other situation because it is a card like none other with an ability completely unique to itself.

Dragon Raid and ANB both say "all" cards. I don't see a difference.  ;)

I am just saying I don't think there can be a comparison made between ANB and any other card. That is how I view that card.

I don't know. In a FBTN deck, ANB looks like any other green enhancement to me.  ;D

I think you are right. "All cards" on Dragon Raid would include face up cards, face down cards, enhancements, EC's, fortresses...anything evil on that site is discarded. So you are right methinks!

So which is it? O_o; Can an "All" ability beat out an out of play rule?

I know ANB shuffles face down stuff because it just says "all cards," and a face down card is still a card. However, can a face down card have a good or evil attached to it?

If a Face-down card can start a Rescue attempt (which is something only heroes can do) via Ambush, then I think they do keep alignments.

The whole point of giving cards special abilities is to suspend a normal rule of the game. If a particular card says "all" evil cards, I see no problem with allowing it to discard face-down evil cards, as well.

To be fair, ANB says "ALL cards."  Perhaps the all-caps bypasses the game rule?  :)

Mabye they were right when STAMP went and talked in ALL CAPS to make rulings official.

I still think ANB should get a play as that specifies "all cards in play, players hands, set aside areas, and face down..."

Hey,

Authority of Christ doesn't discard a face down evil character in The Darkness even though it says "all."  Dragon Raid doesn't discard a face down evil character on a site even though it says "all."

The "Only cards in Land of Redemption and Discard Pile remain" clause on A New Beginning is the excuse we're going to use for why A New Beginning gets face down cards when other cards don't.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

AoC/P says "in play" though.

So if that one clause is the reason, and it creates exceptions to game rules, then even "protected" cards should be shuffled, right?
