The dam is already starting to show cracks and leaks.
Break the dam. Release the river
I predicted this debate would happen. Suddenly we are forced to determine whether certain combos of artifacts and covenants and curses are "broken" or not. The dam is already starting to show cracks and leaks. Let's just errata Ithamar and avoid the mess.
The identifier on The Tabernacle Reads: Holds one active Tabernacle Artifact. That gives us our answer. Ithamar can't force The Tabernacle to do something it can't do.
SA's override...Identifiers all the time.
To me it makes just as much sense to say that Gathering of Angels doesn't work on heroes with banding abilities, because their banding abilities restrict them from banding to anybody else.
Priestly Breastplate says it may be placed on a priest when you activate it. What if the priest says "Holds one Tabernacle Artifact" in the identifier line? Is it not able to hold Priestly Breastplate then?

Ithamar already DOES lead to broken combos if not played as he has historically been played. So, he's getting a play as so that he stays that way. Rob already singed off on it. According to Rob, Ithamar cannot activate a non-Tabernacle artifact on the Tabernacle.If you think Battle Prayer (wa) is broken, start a thread about it and ask for errata or something. I'll watch as people throw things at you.
