Shadow Court Satyr (Changeling) When Shadow Court Satry comes into play, you may put a combat card from your hand on him. During combat, Satyr may use the ability of thar card as if that card had been played from your hand. Yadda, yadda, yadda. This ally can use the combat card on him as if played. This means it is not consumed and can be used multiple times, right? What if the card is a damage prevention card like Skin of Rock? I would think that the intention is that he could only use it once per combat but the text does not specify. As it is currently written the little bugger could use it N times where N is the damage he takes in a round! Is there any errata or does anyone have another interpretation?

Nonne estis, once per combat makes it a little too weak. Stu

Good point. Once per Round does seem to fit a little better than once per combat. And I can't think of any reason that Once per Round would cause any problems - anyone else? -- L.

Yep, I agree that you've got the card right. Woo hoo! If your friends complain, just say, "As if played out of your hand. Look Skin of Rock. Wooo, another Skin of Rock. Skin of Rock again, I just keep drawing them folks."

I'm not sure, but I would read the "as if that card had been played from your hand" as instead of playing the card from your hand, you play it from SCS- And by playing it it naturally goes to your ash heap afterwards. If on the other hand you interpretation is right I will make a Satyr deck asap! regards -- Brian Rasmussen Dansk Data Elektronik A/S Tel.: (+45) 42 84 84 33 (589) Herlev Hovedgade 199 Fax : (+45) 42 84 52 20 DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark e-mail: b...@dde.dk
