Title: Prot
Post by: slugfencer on October 06, 2011, 02:13:36 PM: The Gates of Hell (TP)

Protection of Jerusalem (FF2)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place in your territory: Protect your good O.T. Fortresses from opponents. When you discard an evil Assyrian from play, you may negate and discard an evil card. • Play As: Place in your territory. While it remains there, protect your good O.T. Fortresses from opponents. When you discard an evil Assyrian from play, you may negate and discard an evil card. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: Isaiah 37:35

1. Discarding Assyrians via TGOH doesn't trigger protect o Jerusalem because the assyrian is not in play?

2. How about discarding assyrian from hand-will that trigger POJ?

Thanks!

When I first clicked on this, I thought you misspelled "Plot"

Post by: slugfencer on October 06, 2011, 02:45:41 PM: So neither scenarios work?

Yea, I meant to spell out protection o Jerusalem and I failed! :-[

Post by: Minister Polarius on October 06, 2011, 03:27:56 PM: PoJ specifically says you have to discard it from play. It was worded that way intentionally to disallow discarding from hand.

If I play Authority O Christ (discard all EC's in play) and kill all 5 of my Assyrians in my territory, do I get to discard 5 evil cards from my opponents territory?

Thanks!

I would say yes. It says when you discard an Assyrian and nothing about being limited per special ability used.

Yeah but would that be useful since you just played AoCP. ;)

You could nuke their evil fortresses or active curses or any number of non-character cards.

If they've got a protection fort out, you could hit that. (More useful in T2)
