At [dai], Ignore the Searing Flames says "Prevent all aggravated damage from the opposing minion's strike." Does there have to be at least 1 point of aggravated damage inflicted by that strike for Ignore the Searing Flames to be playable at [dai]? I think yes, based on the Skin of Steel precedent. Incidentally, did you notice that a number of discipline-requiring cards in KMW have the discipline symbols sort of offset in different positions on the lefthand bar? For example, Mighty Grapple's Potence symbol is in the next "slot" up from that on Torn Signpost (both from the Alastor starter I think). Earthshock's is also in the higher position, but Undead Strength is lower. It looks like the regular/outferior cards use both of those positions (Ignore the Searing Flames for example), and then Undue Influence uses both of them plus one lower. I don't suppose White Wolf can get any compensation from the printer for the errors? (I thought at first maybe it was intentional and there were different heights for symbols on different card-types or something, but on comparison there doesn't seem to be any such pattern.) Josh turn turn it on
