Title: Hidden Treasures
Post by: TXJonathan on November 17, 2011, 09:17:00 PM
Since nobody answered my question, then I'm creating another topic.

According to Gabe:

"The activation of pre-loaded enhancements are triggered abilities (like Hidden Treasures). They take place after all other character and weapon abilities have completed."


If I make a rescue attempt with a prophet and have Hidden Treasures active , does HT activate after all good and evil character and weapon abilities have completed or after all good character and weapon abilities have completed?

Hidden Treasures (FF)

Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Once per turn, if your lone green brigade prophet begins a battle, you may play an Enhancement or discard an evil Enhancement in an opponent's deck. • Play As: Once per turn, if your lone green brigade prophet begins a battle, you may play an Enhancement or search opponent's deck for an evil enhancement and discard it. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Obadiah 1:6 •

Only good, it's activated preblock.

Only good, it's activated preblock.

Unless you use a Choose the Blocker ability: Like if you set a prophet aside with Provisions when he makes a rescue attempt the order will be:
Hero Ability->Gained Abilities->Weapon->Choose the Blocker->Evil Character Ability->Gained Abilities (Evil)->Weapon (evil) ->Banding (evil)->Repeat evil abilities as many times as necessary due to banding->Choose rescuer (even though that is unlikely)->Preloaded enhancement->Hidden Treasures

(someone correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sorry if its confusing, also I didn't include good banding because you can't use hidden treasures if a hero is banded in)

Also I have no idea how weakness interacts in this situation.

I'm pretty sure you can play a Choose the Blocker ability via Hidden Treasures pre-block.

I was under the impression that abilities that add characters to battle activate last.

It -is- activating last in this case. Because of the way cards like Hidden Treasures or ET work, all good abilities complete before your opponent even gets a chance to block.

Add character abilities happen last in their tier. Provisions in a gained ability, so it activates last in the order of character and weapon abilities, then triggered abilities check (HT). A nice combo is using a Provisioned David, choosing a Gold character, then playing United Kingdom off HT to bring in Miriam.
