Edit: Never mind

Kings of the Earth is listed as a generic character in the REG.

Post by: emonier on May 09, 2018, 08:52:38 AM: But isn't the default that it should be generic, if there is no proper title (or the word "The")?
This one really looks generic to me, because "Kings of the Earth" does not refer to any particular person.
Please advise.

Just because he’s not in there doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not generic. They may have simply forgot to add him. By the character’s nature he must be generic because he doesn’t have “The” in the title and he’s not a named, specific character. He’s a generic king of X.

Thanks

Post by: Kevinthedude on May 09, 2018, 09:17:10 AM: I recall something a while ago about him being unique because the verse says "the" and because the card title is plural so it's representing the group of all kings and thus is not generic because there's only one group of all kings.

I thought the default is that it's unique and that you had to specify that it's generic. :dunno:

Duplicate, Generic, and Unique remained in the REG because they're more often ruling questions than targeting questions. And they're important for the deck building rules, which are in the REG.

Of course it's in the one place I didn't look. ;D

I will update.
Thanks
