Title: House of ITB
Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on January 02, 2009, 01:24:13 PM: Here is the situation:

I RA with Joiada with Z-Temple up, search for Grain Offering. Choose brown. Opponent blocks with brown EC. His init. He plays Korah's Rebellion. I play Jehoiada's Strength and band all of his heroes in. XD

Now, what happens? Is everyone removed, or is JS interrupted by KR and leaves only Joiada in battle? (We realized later that Joiada was protected by Z-Temple, but ignore that fact. I would like to know what would happen.)

Thanks,
Cameron

Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect your Zerubbabel’s Temple Priests from capture, conversion, and removal from the game. Only one good Temple or Tabernacle may be in a player’s territory. • Identifiers: Holds one Temple artifact, except Ark of the Covenant and Tables of the Law • Verse: Ezra 5:2

Because Joiada is protected from removal he stays in battle after KR. Joiada does not get init to play Jehoiada's Strength.

Korah's Rebellion would be interupting the protection of Grain Offering and removing all cards from the game.
Jehoida's Strength would be interrupting the removal, banding in guys, and making everyone immune again to brown.

Therefore, no removal would happen.

I don't agree with Prof Underwood's hypathetical situation. The immunity from Grain Offering wouldn't kick back in until after Korah's Rebellion completes.
