Title: Rain Becomes Dust
Post by: Deck Metrics on March 07, 2011, 10:53:51 PM: Type: Curse • Brigade: Gray • Ability: 1 / 5 • Class: None • Special Ability: All cards that an opponent draws because of a special ability used by that opponent are revealed instead. Place all revealed Lost Souls in opponent’s territory. Discard the rest. • Play As: If an opponent activates a draw ability, reveal the cards instead. Place all revealed Lost Souls in opponent’s territory and discard the rest. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Deuteronomy 28:24 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Uncommon)

Does it work when you force your opponent to draw cards with say Kindness?

Correct. RBD says: "When an opponent draws because of a special ability used by that opponent...". So forcing them to draw with your enhancement won't work. But as Wanderer said, there are various choose the blocker/choose the rescuer combos that can trigger it, like choosing your Sabbath Breaker or Damsel with Spirit of Divination.

No, because you're the one using the special ability. GW is useful to Abom, because it doesn't specify who's making the player draw.

giving your opponent TGW with RbD active triggers RbD and they discard 2 cards from hand + 2 cards from top of deck while you draw 2, right?
