John the Apocalyptist Question
« on: July 07, 2017, 10:31:02 AM »

"May use John and Revelation Enhancements. John and enhancements from John and Revelation played on him cannot be negated."

What does it mean by "John"? Does it mean the Gospel of John as well as 1-3 epistles of John?

This may be a stupid question, but I just wanted to double check.

Thanks.

I ruled in my play group 2 days ago that 1st, 2nd and 3rd John would gain CBN when played on John the Apocalyptist

Doesn't mean I am right though lol

I believe it was ruled to just be the gospel of John

This is how I thought it was intended to be played. It makes sense, but I wanted to be sure.

It's only the books of John and Revelation.

Have you looked it up in ORCID?

Is that because of the specifications of reference?  That feels completely lame IMHO.

This is yet another example of card text being card language and not just words. John says he can use "John" enhancements and "Revelation" enhancements. This means he can use enhancements that have a reference from exactly the books John and Revelation. It says nothing on the card about 1 2 or 3 and you can't just add text to a card because it seems like it fits.

If you look at the list of cards from 1 John, 2 John and 3 John, that's also pretty lame...  ::)

We considered it, but felt it really didn't add much to the card.

Sorry I meant the list of pre-RoJ cards from those books.

Overcome is a thing we didn't think needed to be any stronger than it already is... ::)
