Title: Golden censor Interrupt or prevent
Post by: Legolas on June 21, 2017, 01:27:10 PM: If i block with the murdering pharaoh pharaoh and golden censor is negating him, does he work?

Murdering pharoah-
Search deck for a genesis or exodus site or fortress. Decrease all heroes in battle x/x (x being number of opponents good brigades) this turn. May band to taskmaster. This card and taskmaster cannot be prevented.

Golden censor-
Negate an evil or neutral card in play or set aside area, cannot be interrupted.

Yes. the interrupt is instant. then, from that point onwards, the card that censor is targeting is prevented.

It appears you made contradicting statements. You said it would be preventing him when he enters battle but then you say "so he works". How can it be both? And besides, his ability is CBP so Golden Censer will not prevent his ability from activating, from my understanding of how it works.

It's amazing how one word can change the entire meaning of a statement. :)

Yeah, my fingers got ahead of my brain.

Of course, all of this presumes Golden Censer being activated in the Prep Phase - it would interrupt him if activated during battle.
