Ok, so can healing cards be played the same way as dominants? In the fact that you can play them WHENEVER? Also, does Backward Shadow protect heros from Christian Martyr?

You can play Healing cards if you have a Character in play (or who was discarded in the same turn) of the same brigade and at least one character who can receive the benefit of the Heal. So you cannot play a Healing card if no one is poisoned/diseased/discarded in the turn you play it. But if those conditions are met, then yes, they are similar to dominants in the way you can play them.

Backward Shadow protects from reduced abilities. Christian Martyr doesn't reduce the abilities, it just discards them. If Backwards Shadow did protect against CM, it would protect against all SA discards, and would probably be one of the most used cards in the game. Of course, you can use Backward Shadow to Heal from CM. But a Hero who has been healed by it is not protected from CM, or any other discard.

Did you hear that Master_Chi?! Your Sual/Paul was dead as a doornail!

Too bad Sual does not exist.

And by the way, I was healing Paul FROM Christian Martyr.

Yeah, I also tried discarding him again with a evil enhancement. THAT time it would have worked.

Negatory, since I was ignoring you. Actually, my Hero was ignoring your Evil Character, since I (as a person) was not ignoring YOU (as a person).

LOL we should have an enhancement where players actually ignore each other for one turn LOL

I turn my back and look the other way. You do not exist, temporarily.
