Title: Love
Post by: Josh on March 26, 2015, 10:22:18 PM

I block my opponent with King of Tyrus.  My opponent plays Angel of the Lord.  I have a hero in play and Love in my hand.  Can I heal KoT with Love?  A strict reading of the card leads me to believe "Yes".

Love - Heal and convert your character to a Hero of any brigade. Place on that Hero: While this Hero is in battle, protect characters not in battle from special abilities on evil cards, except banding.

Based on strict reading, yes. He would be healed.

"A convert ability only targets humans unless a specific non-human target is specified."

So he wouldn't be converted, because KoT is a demon.

But I don't know whether that would also mean that the heal part of it could target him.

It would heal KoT, and the rest of the ability would fizzle resulting in love being discarded. I believe this was answered before, so I'll check.
