No, it's not about Harvest Time....or Hidden Treasures....this question is about Herod's Treachery (they need to stop making cards with HT initials )

Anyways, I know this was discussed before, but I want clarification as I'll be dealing with the card at a tournament this weekend and need to know.

When placed on a Herod, does it allow use of any color enhancement all the time, or only when that Herod is in battle?

I know before it was said only in battle, and if that's the case let me say this: If it doesn't work outside battle, why do ANY TC enhancements work outside battle, or healing enhancements, or set aside enhancements? As far as I know, placed enhancements are "placed" because their effects last longer than just in the battle. Why is HT any different?

Herod’s Treachery
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Herod. That Herod may use evil Enhancements regardless of brigade. You may discard this card to force X Heroes to withdraw from battle. • Attributes: X = number of good brigades opponent has in play • Identifiers: None • Verse: Matthew 2:8 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()

I believe it works outside of battle as long as its on a herod. The other discussion was based on if it was used in battle on any other EC b/c of the last sentence on the card.

You may discard this card to force X Heroes to withdraw from battle.

imagine a multicolor EE battle winner.

I personally think that it should work and that it wouldnt be too much for the game. SAUCEY!

yes. i put naaman's chariots on my black wc philly's all the time.

Both of these scenarios say "may use any brigade enhancement." I don't see how "holding" is the same as "using."

I am confident that you can use territory class enhancements of any brigade since they are being "used."
