Just checking [LSJ]

I attempt to Set's Curse a War Ghoul. In response, the War Ghoul burns itself to destroy a location. Is my vampire that attempted the Set's Curse still tapped? Does the vampire have to pay for Set's Curse? Can the vampire attempt another Set's Curse during the current turn? Card design question, why does Nightmare upon Nightmares affect animal allies (of which there seem to be only 1), but not mortals? thanks, Vegas gNat

No, a fizzled action s is considered resolved, and therefore falls under the purview of NRA > Card design question, why does Nightmare upon Nightmares affect animal > allies (of which there seem to be only 1), but not mortals? Because animals are reincarnated spirits of sinners, and while spirits are immortal, sinners need to be punished! ...or was that not what you were asking? :P Comments Welcome, Norman S.

[ quoted text not captured ] Can I retarget the Set's Curse to another ally after the War Ghoul burns itself? Vegas gNat

tigernat1 <tige...@gmail.com> writes: [ quoted text not captured ] Nope. Rulebook 6.2.1: "All details of the action are declared when the action is announced, including the target(s), the cost, the effects, etc." You announced the target when you declared the action. The only way to change the target is by explicit card text, such as with Deflection. HG
