This is a question of whether placed enhancements continue to be active if the card they are placed on is set aside, right?I would say they are, so this works.
As far as whether a set-aside card should be able to affect cards in play, Chamber of Angels would be pretty useless if it could not target angels in play, so I agree with Bryon as well.

Awesome.

Awesome.Aaron only protects HoH while he remains in play. Apart from that small detail it's still awesome.
Placed Enhancements? Yes. Placed Artifacts? Yes Character Abilities? No
Lay Down Your Life is active while in the set-aside area, but is the character it is on still a valid target? In range/out of range when targeting is obvious/clear enough for cards that have absolute target locations (in a territory, in battle, etc). But cards that have target locations relative to themselves (self, opponent in battle, etc) create some weird situations. If Israelite Archer leaves play before the end of battle, he doesn't get discarded because he's no longer a valid target for his own ability, right? If "bearer" of Lay Down Your Life is out of play then it's not a valid target for the discard ability either, right?
Just like a card in set aside can discard itself without having to specify "from set aside area." See Gates of Hell.
A placed artifact only remains in effect for the current round unless (1) it is reactivated on the next round, or (2) it's ability specifies a longer duration.
As a general rule Artifacts are activated every turn during your prep phase. I've never seen anyone require another player to turn them all face down and then reactivate them, just leave it face up and use the ability again if it's an instant ability, or if it's ongoing it just keeps working.Priestly Breastplate can work differently because it has a place ability. To use it's ability you must activate it on the Artifact pile because it's not an identifier. Once it's active, if you choose to use the place ability it stays on the priest until it's removed by a special ability. You cannot choose to deactivate it (unplace it). That's how all place cards work.
Hey,Quote from: Bryon on June 05, 2011, 04:04:06 PMJust like a card in set aside can discard itself without having to specify "from set aside area." See Gates of Hell.Does that mean that if Israelite Archer uses his ability and then is set-aside before the end of battle, he can still discard himself?Does that mean that the Destroyer still removes itself (from the draw pile) if I use Grapes of Wrath in battle after using his ability?For the record, I'd be happy if the answer was yes, I just didn't think that it was.
Destroyer removing itself from the game from inside your deck is a little odd. Does the "reset in deck" rule apply here?
So as far as Priestly Breastplate is concerned, it remains active for one round regardless of if it's placed on a priest or not. There is a slight question about how it gets reactivated if I placed it on a priest and wish to activate it again the next round.
What stopping and errata that lets it works like magic charms?
