Title: Jerusalem Tower and ROA cards
Post by: Egyptian on December 05, 2008, 12:15:20 PM

Does Jerusalem Tower prevent new ROA stuff (e.g. Given over to Egypt, Deck discard Lost Soul, etc.)?

Text of JT: "No opponent may remove a card from holder's draw pile. Draw pile may still be searched and/or shuffled."

My understanding is that JT's ability is a "prevent" ability.

Since neither Given over to Egypt nor Deck discard Lost Soul specifically say "cannot be prevented" or "cannot be negated" I would think the answer is yes, but wanted to check to make sure.

Jerusalem Tower does prevent those two effects.
