My question remains the same, if Women as Snares is banded in, how can she "block" when thats a one time deal?I say if an EC enters the field of battle against a hero at any time, it is blocking, and should be counted as such. Every time an EC enters, it is also blocking, and should be counted as such, meaning, thorn in the Flesh should activate numerous times if a chain of panic demons enters battle.
So that you can't block a thorned character with a PD chain. That's pretty much the reason.
Found it:http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=17424.0Theres the thread with the ruling.

It's a subtle difference in ongoing vs. instantaneous action.
Thorn in the Flesh has always been misinterpreted from the very beginning anyway. An enhancement can only be played on one EC. If it is played on a demon, THAT demon is the only demon that will trip the triggered ability on TitF regardless of how many demons are blocking.

I have found the fatal flaw in your argument good sir!Place this card on a Hero. It cannot be removed by a Healing card. Each time holder’s demon blocks that Hero, holder discards a card at random from opponent’s hand.Shazam!

Place this card on a Hero.
There was a rather large flaw. Quote from: STAMP on May 06, 2010, 05:04:08 PMAn enhancement can only be played on one EC. If it is played on a demon...QuotePlace this card on a Hero. Unless you meant the original EC you have to play it on so you can place it, in which case... what happens if you use a human since it doesnt specify a demon has to originally play it. The character you initially use to place TitF on a hero has nothing to do with the ability on the card.Also, Wandering Spirit says "Your demon" but was ruled to put all discarded demons under the draw pile, not just one.
When Tim Maly posted on that thread that Thorn in the Flesh only triggered once, it was news to me.I've always assumed that Thorn in the Flesh and Gates of Jerusalem work for every EC as it enters battle. I assumed that an EC entering battle against a hero was called a "block" even if it was not the first EC into battle.
... or "Holder's Demon" could refer to any demon that belongs to the holder.If it said THIS demon, I would agree with you.
And, according to what you said earlier, "each time X Blocks" means each time X type of character enters battle against a hero right?
