First of all I am but sorry I can't seem to paste links or add Pictures. I am using the newest IE and really dont know why I cant do anything.
Back to the question.
Is a unit played from hand considered as being deployed?
If yes... Can you use a Splintered Path Acolyte to reduce the cost for a unit like fx Posseded to 3 (printed cost for Posseded is 5) and put it into play?
