Are you allowed to retrieve Scarlet Line from your discard pile using I Am Love? I would think not, but I know "can not be blocked" is the same thing as "ignore."

I Am Love
Type: Covenant • Brigade: White • Ability: 3 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: If a human Evil Character (except warrior class) is blocking your Hero, interrupt the battle and search discard pile for a white brigade enhancement with "ignore" in the special ability and play it. Limit once per turn. • Identifiers: NT • Verse: I John 4:8 • Availability: Angel Wars booster packs (Common)

Scarlet Line
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: White • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Female Heroes cannot be blocked by a male Evil Character this battle. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Joshua 2:18 • Availability: Women booster packs (Uncommon)

  Although they may mean the same thing, the words don't change.

If you are using Book of the Covenant or some other means of simultaneously activating I am Love and I am Truth then they work just fine together.

Did Prof Alstad give a reason for his claim?

I am Truth  SA  Good enhancements with "ignore" in the special ability cannot be negated by evil cards.

I am Love SA  If a human Evil Character (except warrior class) is blocking  your Hero, interrupt the battle and search discard pile for a white brigade enhancement with "ignore" in the special ability and play it. Limit once per turn.


Since both say "enhancement with 'ignore' in the special ability" I don't see the difference you are talking about.

Is I am Love incorrectly worded in the REG? It says "ignore," while the card actually reads "ignores."

Thats what I thought, but there is usually a play as or errata for changes to the card wording.

redemption101, your quotes aren't 100% correct.  Look at the quotes EmJay posted.

NNFS works with both, how can it not?  I am Love/Truth are worded the exact same way.  It's a great combo and a fun off strategy for new players.

REG > real card.  "ignore" is correct

I disagree. The REG has to say Errata for such a change to be true; the REG is in error. So until one of the two receives an errata, I would rule at a tournament that they do not work together.

I disagree.  The lines have been blurred between "play as" and "errata" for a long time.

Well neither I am Love or I am Truth have a Play As or an Errata, so I'm not seeing your point here.

In addition, the REG is the superior resource as it contains more up-to-date information than the printed card, which never changes.

Anytime the REG "updates" what a printed card does, it does so with Errata or a Play As. Again, neither of the covenants has either of those.

Unless the REG is specifically ruled to be in error, I believe it trumps the printed card.  It always has.

When has the REG ever trumped what's written on the card in the absence of Errata? Also, it would be a very easy mistake to make typographically, especially since everyone has assumed they work together since they came out. But now specific wording is really important (which is why "placed" enhancements don't work with High Places). Based on this, and the fact that there are several errors left in the REG that haven't been fixed, I would rule in favor of what the card says.

I gotta side with prof, since the placed ruling it has not worked.

If President Obama said you were a woman, would that make you a woman?

...unless the error is obvious...

The error is obvious--it says something different from what the card says with no errata or play as.

You very well may be right, but it could also be that they fixed the printed mistake and simply forgot to add the "play as/errata" indicator.  I've seen other cards where the REG's ability is different than the printed ability without a mention of "play as" or "errata".

I'm fine with either way this is ruled (I'd actually prefer your view), but I just think that assuming that the REG is incorrect is a bad precedent.

actually, i think it was ruled cards like leprosy still work with high places.
