Title: Initiative to Negate
Post by: SignoftheStar on March 27, 2013, 09:29:57 AM

Let's say Ezekiel is in play and I'm making a rescue attempt with King Hezekiah banded to Isaiah by his special ability. He is blocked by Egyptian Warden, whose special ability allows him to capture a Hero at the cost of a yellow card from his holder's hand. Am I allowed to play Forest Fire, which negates and discards an evil card, in order to stop Egyptian Warden's ability even though I'm not actually losing by removal, as I would still have a Hero in battle?

No. Speciall Initiative only applies when it causes you to be losing by removal.

That's what I thought.
