Burning Brand + Song of Wisdom?

By lkb57, in Rules questions & answers

Hey Folks,

My question may have already been asked and answered elsewhere, but I looked around in the forums and couldn't find it, so I'll go ahead and ask:

If I have a Tactics, Leadership, Spirit, or Neutral Hero with Song of Wisdom attached, can Burning Brand then be attached to that hero? I'm guessing no, but I wanted to double check. Thanks!

Yes, it can be Attached.

Since Burning Brand doesn't require a "printed lore icon", you can put it on someone who has simply gained the lore icon. This works for Songs, Narvi's belt or even Gandalf's ability if you play it from the top of your deck. It has been clarified that the play requirement of "Attach to a Lore character" is only checked at the time you play the attachment. So even if the Song of Wisdom was later discarded, Burning Brand stays.

(1.23) Attachments

...

The “Attach to...” rules text on an attachment is only a play restriction, and is not taken into account after the card is already attached.

Thanks guys! That's better than I was expecting.
