Hey, wanted to see if we played this right.

Joanna (DI) attacks.

Arioch blocks and uses his ability to put the chosen Lost Soul beneath deck (this is a T2 game w/ rescuers choice).

Joanna uses Magnificat to negate Arioch and set him aside.

Arioch uses Swift Horses to interrupt, draw 2 and play Head of Gold to capture Joanna.

Joanna uses He is Risen to interrupt and set aside Arioch.

Arioch is now set aside, and when Magnificat resolves, Arioch is no longer in play to target therefore his ability is not negated, correct? Since his ability is instant and not on-going, 'He is Risen' would also not interrupt it.

Arioch (FF)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: 10 / 7 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: If opponent does not have a prophet in play, you may discard a male human from your territory to place a Lost Soul beneath owner’s deck.

Magnificat (Di)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: White • Ability: 1 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Negate special abilities on characters. If used by a musician or N.T. female, set aside an Evil Character in battle for 2 turns.

Swift Horses (FF)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: 2 / 2 • Class: Weapon • Special Ability: Interrupt the battle and draw two cards. If used by a Babylonian, you may play the next Enhancement.

Head of Gold (FF)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: X / 0 • Class: None • Special Ability: Babylonians are immune to silver brigade. Capture up to X humans.

'He Is Risen' (RA)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: White • Ability: 3 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Interrupt the battle and set aside X Evil Characters for X turns. You may add a N.T. angel to battle. • Play As: Interrupt the battle and set aside X Evil Characters for X turns. You may band a N.T. angel into battle.

I agree with Pol.

Arioch had horses on him already and d2'd and didn't play before the Mag was played, does that make a difference?

I kinda feel for the guy that didn't get the LS in this scenario.

No, Arioch didn't have Horses on him, but I did play one S. Horses before Magnificat was played to get my numbers up. Pretty sure that doesn't make a difference.

Couldn't remember if the other one was already on him or just played. Wouldn't the interrupts interrupt Arioch's ability too then though and then the LS would be there still?

alrighty. Thanks for the explanation. I'm glad we played it the correct way then.
