Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
I ask the second question because I remember it being said that face down cards are considered out of play.
1. I actually don't think so.For Goliath's Armor, the abilifier could activate outside of battle and you could place it on Goliath.
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Black • Ability: 0 / 5 • Class: Weapon • Special Ability: Bearer is immune to purple brigade. Cannot be negated. • Play As: Bearer is immune to purple brigade. Cannot be negated. If placed on Goliath, Goliath may hold until discarded. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: I Samuel 17:5-6 • Availability: Faith of our Fathers booster packs (None)According to the reg, it isn't the identifer, but the special ability. So it has to be in battle to activate.
