it's my understanding that when a person plays demonic mist or blocks with king menaham (spelled bad), that the person whose hand is being randomly discarded from cannot quick play dominants for fear of losing them. If this is true, does it apply to all special abilities? Meaning, does the special ability of the last card played have to be completed before someone has another chance to play a dominant?

ex.
player a: goes for a rescue attempt with gabriel (wa), but opponent has JT up
player b: blocks with gomer (wo) and does not band.
player b: plays dream to draw three cards and play next enhancement.
---- at this point can player a play a dominant?
player b: draws his three cards, and plays thievery of Judas
player a: only has/had only SoG in his hand, and does not have any artifacts in his deck

if needed i will post all the card descriptions

second question- if you steal SoG by lucky chance with Thievery of Judas, can you play 2 SoG in one game?

Dominants do not interrupt anything, so no, you can't play a dominant in the middle of a special ability.

If your opponent gives you a second SoG, I don't see why you can't play it.

Great, now we can cut offense down to two for-sure rescues with Heroes. Defense-heavy FTW.

actually that was kind of my thought. if your defense in pale green and crimson and you keep playing hand discards, then you add the hand discard LS.... could be done... maybe

Where's Lambo when you need him? 

When your opponent just got you down to one card in your hand and he is using a crimson character (or can use crimson enhancements), I'm not going to hold onto that SOG.

So you need to add Arrogance in there.

Oh, I didn't realize they could play next... nevermind

play with altar of ahaz so it will stay in their hand more often

but Brandan Abbott came up with a nice solution for the artifacts I am going to try tomorrow.

Would you say his advice was angelic by chance?

Follow up question...if you steal New Jerusalem can you play both copies of NJ with your SoG?

I think this works, too.
