Hi,

The FAQ has made it seem unclear on when to actually play this card.

I would imagine that I can play this card after damage is assigned but before damage is applied.

However the FAQ states: When this card is played, it creates
a constant effect that waits for the next 2
damage assigned to the target unit or the end
of the turn, whichever is first.

Here, I would assume that it needs to be played prior to damage being assigned?

Can someone please help me?

Thanks

Based on what it says in the FAQ, yes, I think you have to play the card before damage is assigned (for combat damage). Or in reaction to something that will deal non-combat damage (like Flames of Tzeentch).

However, I don't think that's how the card is intended to work. The old wording seemed pretty clear that the intent was to redirect damage that had just been assigned, before it was applied. But the wording of "next 2 damage dealt" I think caused problems. Still, I don't understand why they chose to reword it the way they did.

Send this question to the developers using rules questions link at the bottom of the page. I have the exact same question about it and, in fact, created a thread just a few days ago on this same page. When you get an answer, please post it here so we can all see it. Thanks!
