Nope.

Or just use Temple of Dagon and have Altar of Dagon active.

Last I knew, Holy Grail cannot convert during the battle phase, so it cannot target an Armorbearer searched out with Outpost. I would think you could block with it, then....

What part of Holy Grail makes it a trigger and not a "use when you activate it"?

Seems more like clarifying text to me....

Seems more like we didn't know how to word cards in Warriors - Read the Errata'd version of the ability and it makes a lot more sense.

I WAS reading the errata.

The once per turn implies at any point during said turn.

That's the part I'm arguing. I don't read the understood "anytime" before "once per turn" that you seem to be. When I read it, I see "once per turn" as more about how many of the 2 conversions per game you can do in any given turn ("one"). Am I missing somewhere in the rules where it says "once per turn" describes when and not just how many?

High Priest Annas says "once per game" but you don't get to choose when you can use his ability during a battle. You have to choose whether to use it when he enters battle/activates. Why is Holy Grail different?

Did I? I honestly don't remember that. Why does it matter if I accepted it before? That doesn't invalidate my arguments in the present.

Where is the line between artifacts that activate and take affect only when they activate or artifacts that are "on going"? What wording or rule prevents a player from using I am creator just like and artifact like HG? I am Justice works as a response why isn't I am creator. I know that the iac was ruled to be a singular activation and only at the start of your turn, I would just like to know the reasoning behind the rule. It seems like an appropriate time to do just that.

I am Creator
If you do not have a Hero in your territory, or set-aside area, then search draw pile for a Hero and place it in your territory. Cannot be interrupted. Limit once during each of your turns. •  (sounds an awful lot like HG)

I Am Justice (AW)
Type: Covenant • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 5 / 2 • Class: None • Special Ability: If an Evil Character discards your Hero this battle, you may discard that Evil Character at the end of the turn. Limit two discards per game.

Holy Grail
Once per turn holder may convert a human Evil Character in a territory to a Hero in brigade of Holder's choice. Holder is limited to two such conversions per game

I thought artifacts that referred to conditions needing to be met in battle were an exception as a separate rule? (Writ/Go into Captivity/Silver Trumpets/etc.)

Because Holy Grail is an artifact, and the rules for Artifacts are different than they are for Characters, whose abilities, regardless of whether they're once per game, must be used immediately upon entering battle. (unless stated otherwise, but I think only like two characters have those)

So Women at the Well w/ Holy Grail up will convert ECs she searches for, provided you didn't use it yet that turn? I thought this answer was a no
