Evil character abilities activate before Throne of David lets the opponent play a card, so if you were to block with Proud Pharisee, you could play an enhancement before Throne of David.

They also activate before cards such as Angel's Sword or Helmet of Brass. Cards such as Two-Thousand Horses also activate before Angel's Sword

Hmmm well thank you that is what i thought but my brother did not agree with me. Oh and i have one more question - If i play arrogance and then i play a capture to my opponent in battle can he play anything or does he get captured and then i can play something else and he cant do anything about it?

If i play arrogance and then i play a capture to my opponent in battle can he play anything or does he get captured and then i can play something else and he cant do anything about it?

I believe your opponent has a chance to Interrupt the Battle as long as your capture is not a CBN capture and you are done playing enhancements.
Also, it helps to post the abilities of the cards being referenced.

Arrogance
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Holder may play as many evil enhancements as desired. Initiative passes when holder is done playing enhancements. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon, Connected with David • Verse: I Samuel 17:43-44 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Rare)



Godspeed,

what if i captured him and then played another enhancement could he do anything then?

That is why most of the new enhancements are negate last.

Of course you could just finish your sequence of cards played after arrogance with something that ends the battle.  Then he can't do anything

This made me think of an Arrogance question: What if I choose the rescuer in an Arrogance chain and end with a battle-ender? Does the hero's ability ever activate?

I'm not if the new rescuer would actually enter battle until you are finished with arrogance.

In that case, would any of the cards played with Arrogance actually ever activate if a battle-ender was played? That doesn't make sense at all...

I'm not if the new rescuer would actually enter battle until you are finished with arrogance.

Arrogance only grants unlimited initiative.  It doesn't stop instant abilities from occurring.  If you played a CTB card to cause someone to enter battle, then I would think that they would enter battle and their special ability would activate.  Then it would go back to being your initiative again and you could play another enhancement.
