I would think that either toss happens normally or they cannot toss or play the enhancement.

It's not explicitly stated in the Toss entry in the REG but there are a few things we can key in on to find the answer.

A toss ability allows a player to play an enhancement in a different way than usual;

Enhancements discarded to the toss ability are played from hand.

Both of those entries indicate to me that the Enhancement is played, then a toss ability causes the Enhancement to have a different effect than it normally would have.

But what does it mean to "play" an Enhancement?

You play an enhancement by attempting to activate its special ability (or numbers in battle)

The conclusion I draw from all of this is that toss doesn't target the hand at all, but instead targets the eligible Enhancements that are being played in battle.

But the new reg says thay toss targets a card about to be played. If it is about to be played, it is still in hand. I really think this needs to be looked at fully because this would make the REG wrong.

So this means you could play Bravery of David or Victory of David during SI while Colosseum is up, then either their SA activates before it can be target for toss, out else it is targeted when played and tosses during SI. Which is the case?
