Hey,The Throne of David can only triggered when the initial blocker is presented. ("blocked" has multiple possible definitions, the presentation of the initial blocker is the definition being used here.) It's been ruled that way pretty much since it came out. It would probably be a good idea to give it play as that clarifies that point.In the Seven Wicked Spirits example, The Throne of David is triggered when Seven Wicked Spirits enters battle, before Seven Wicked Spirits takes effect. So both the triggered effect of The Throne of David and the ability of Seven Wicked Spirits are "queued" to take effect at that point. An activating ability always takes precedent over a triggered ability so Seven Wicked Spirits happens first (we all know that much). When Seven Wicked Spirits interrupts The Throne of David it's waiting to be carried out, so after the new blocking character's ability takes effect and the interrupt ends The Throne of David is reinstated, still waiting to be carried out. At that point all other abilities are complete, so The Throne of David's triggered ability finally gets to take effect. Since there's a state-based condition attached to the event based trigger, you have to make sure that at this point the state-based condition is satisfied (i.e. there is no evil character in battle with a weapon) and if it is, the draw and play happens.So the interrupt on Seven Wicked Spirits does not hinder The Throne of David's ability to function.Also on a side note, The Throne of David does kick in in response to an Uzzah block. The trigger goes off when Uzzah enters battle, he discards himself, The Throne of David takes effect, and since there is no Evil Character in battle, there obviously isn't an evil character with a weapon, so the draw and play happens.Tschow,Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly
Blocking is the attempt to prevent a rescue. Only Evil Characters may block. Whenever an Evil Character enters the Field of Battle against a Hero (regardless of what point the battle is), that is considered a block.
Except that your panic demon band (or any other) could be construed as a "single" block as they are all entering the fight at the "same" time where as an UN/GoH block comes as a completely separate block later in the battle. Just food for thought.
