Rules Q&A
- Q: According to this: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=77154&p=1013374&hilit=Flanked#p1013374 About the "Armor of Heaven's" part.
The Rules Team says it won't work because it says "another player's target".
What about Blessed Tessen? It says "another player's ACTION". Does it works?
A: Yes, Blessed Tessen can react to Flanked by Nightmare's targeting. Unlike Armor of the Heavens, Tessen cares about whose action it is, not who does the targeting. Brook Cunningham, "Flanked by Nightmare vs. Blessed Tessen", 17 Oct 2009
