Horrid Reality Q's

If I play Horrid Reality at Superior, then use Dragon Breath Rounds on the weapon I summoned, what happens at the end of combat: is the weapon burned or is it shuffled back into my library? If I summon an unique weapon (Ivory bow) with H.R. does it contest an Ivory Bow already in play? I think not, by analogy with the vampire summoned with an Illusion of the Kindred but the card does not specify, whereas Illusion card does. Thank you.

From the online rulings: * If the weapon gained is not in play (burned by Destroy Equipment, e.g.) by the end of combat, do not burn it (or do not shuffle it into your library, if superior).

The illusionary copy is burned at the end of the combat and the other copy (if it is the only other copy) is recontrolled at the appropriate untap phase [TOM 12-DEC-95] -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Bingo! It is a contested card and therefore is not in play. :) Comments Welcome, Norman S. Brown Jr. XZealot Archon of the Swamp [ quoted text not captured ]
