Rules Q&A
- Q: Regarding http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=114405
The ruling on A Champion's Strike isn't explicitly mentioned in this answer, so just to be clear, is this to say that the addition of targeting paradoxes to the CR reverses the original ruling?
The original poster had asked:
The ruling was that, no, you can't. Has this changed?
If so, great! If not, my original question stands as to what distinguishes Rewards of Experience from A Champion's Strike in terms of Hidden Dagger/targeting restrictions.
A: My ruling on Rewards of Experience was incorrect, and the ruling on A Champion's Strike was correct. Inconsistency resolved. Jon Palmer, "RE: Hidden Dagger Follow-up", 15 Jul 2015 - Q: Could you explain the distinction between the rulings made regarding Hidden Dagger as it interacts with Rewards of Experience http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=114402 and A Champion's Strike http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=109757 ?
Why is it that in the case of Rewards of Experience it "works" and in the case of A Champion's Strike it does not?
A: The targeting paradoxes section of the CR didn't exist at the time (so really, we had no way to guarantee that a card like No Hiding Place would ever work). Your targeting constraint at this point is that the force of the unit targeted by Rewards of Experience has to be less than yours; therefore, it's only a legal target when you use the Hidden Dagger.
