I know there was a ruling recently on Damage Prevention (in a group of about 10 recent Rules Team reversals) which I think said "No combat cards outside of combat" eg damage prevention. However, now I have my own internet account (rather than looking at someone else's) I don't have that ruling. How does it stand at the moment? -- James Coupe (note spam proof e-mail address) The owls are not what they seem.

This is not a reversal. Combat cards can only be played in combat. That's why they're called combat cards. Errata on superior Rutor's Hand makes the damage create its own combat-strike-resolution phase (so that combat can be played). > However, now I have my own internet account (rather than looking at > someone else's) I don't have that ruling.

Last time I checked the errata it was that you could play combat cards outside of combat for preventable damage like that - seeing that combat cards now could only be played in combat and no mention of what to do if damage could be prevented didn't add up.
