Title: Stolen Blessing without special ability
Post by: Reth on June 07, 2014, 03:39:40 PM
Hi there,

today I got my Disciples Expansion Deck and stumbled across Stolen Blessings which does not have any special abilty printed on it.
Unfortunately I could not yet find anything about that card here nor on CactusGameDesign.com.

Within wiki I found the card doubled, one with remark error - but no explanation.

Can someone please explain whats up with that card?

Many thanks in advance!

Bye

Looking this up on the Visualizer (http://redemptionlive.com/#/Visualizer), it looks like there is indeed an error version with no ability.  I think that this should be able to be played as if it were printed with the ability on it, since it is just an error card from that set, but I am not positive.  I'm not sure this is one of the the error cards that is worth anything either, which would be based on rarity.

Anyone else have those answers?

In any case, it is ironic that your blessing got stolen, as it were ;)

Like the two Storehouse versions in Patriarchs and two Shadow versions in Angel Wars , Stolen Blessing has two versions, one with the special ability and one without.

Really?  That is interesting, I was not aware.  Different printings then for the set, not an error in the difference?

IIRC, there were an equal number of the two versions printed thus I'm not really sure it can be considered an "error" though many people refer to the version without a SA as the "error" version.

Pretty sure it was just a place filler and not an error. Hence the lack of a special ability, a 'stolen' blessing.

That's just meta enough for me to believe it.

It's worth $0.25.

I asked about this many years ago, and I was told by Doug Gray (back when he was still with Cactus) that it was not an error card. It was intentionally printed in two versions (as Guardian stated), one with the ability "stolen" (as MKC stated).
