Title: Great faith
Post by: slugfencer on July 22, 2015, 10:12:48 PM

Great faith--holder may search own draw pile and exchange this card with another enhancement card, then shuffle.

Can I grab an evil enh with great faith?

thanks!

Based on the ruling for Battle Prayer (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Prayer_(Wa)) found here (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/ruling-questions/battle-prayer-(wa)/msg543545/#msg543545), if you are using the Women's (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Faith_(Wo)) version, then yes, you can. If, however you are using the H (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Faith_(H)) version, it specifies a good enhancement.

Can confirm this is the current ruling.

You can fetch an evil enhancement yes, but since the enhancement exchanges to battle and an evil enhancement cannot match a hero it is discarded with no effect.

Not true by the current rules.  In the REG as it is currently written, you may take that enhancement to hand instead.

Sneak peek to the rule post-Nats then. :P

Apologies, I mixed up the old and new REGs there, haha.

Which brings up, if I take the bottom card of my deck because it is evil with evil spawn and it is a different brigade than Orange, can I add it to battle and it will take full effect or not (after nats and the reg is updated what will happen)

Enhancements never take effect unless the character it is played on either has that brigade or has an ability that lets them use that brigade. If Evil Spawn reveals a non-orange enhancement you can add it to the battle but it will be discarded for no effect.

That has always been the case and likely will always be the case.
