So an ability that discards isnt a discard ability? That is needlessly confusing
I dont see how protection has anything to do with this, im trying to see if you can search out coliseum with wages
And i still believe toss should be a discard ability and i havent heard a good reason it shouldnt be other than search is messed up and just accept it doesnt set precident on how other abilities should be ruled, which i dont want to accept that Redemption is that messed up and counterintuitive
From the REG:TossLast Updated: 5/7/2019 (v6.0.0)Released: 3/4/2013How to Play● A toss effect allows a player to play an Enhancement in a different way than usual; instead of activating thenumbers or abilities of the Enhancement, the Enhancement is discarded to decrease an opposing character,regardless of protect or immune effects.
Yes, the way you play it is to discard it...
If it was worded that the enhancement was put in the discard pile, that would be a differnet story, but it clearly says it discards the enhancement, which makes it a discard ability. Im not arguing it should say it puts it in the discard pile, thats just side stepping the issue, as the "put into discard pile" would need to be defined, adding another definition to the game, and this would all be just so tossed wasnt considered a discard a ability
As far as i can tell there is no def of a discard ability, just a def of discard, so you would have to assume any ability that discards something is a discard ability,
A set-aside Enhancement can be played outside of battle during the Preparation or Discard Phase if they areplayed on a character that can use the Enhancement in the active player’s territory. Set-aside Enhancementsplayed outside of battle are discarded after the targets are set aside. Set-aside Enhancements played in battle aretreated as regular Enhancements
