Title: Non-Converted Heroes Harming Other Heroes
Post by: BubbleBoy on March 07, 2010, 01:54:49 PM

If Queen Maachah has been converted to a hero, am I still able to discard her with King Asa (http://redemptionreg.com/REG/LinkedDocuments/King%20Asa%20(TP).gif)? I mean, I know that the rule on converted heroes states that a converted EC's ability won't work if it harms a hero, but what about when the converted card is now the one being targeted? In other words, does the rule of fizzled abilities apply to heroes whose targets have changed alignment?

Samson's Sacrifice already set the precedent for good cards discarding heroes, so I don't see why King Asa would not discard a converted Queen Maachah. The "Fizzle Postulate" only applies to the converted character's SA.

YMT is correct.  King Asa had his grandmother deposed, not killed.  So, just think of it as being "sent away."  :)
