Stained Honor

By Smazzurco, in UFS Rules Q & A

Ok this is obvious as far as its supposed to work. But want to make sure im not missing something that would make this card a lot better.

Two things, your control check gets - X, and X cannot be greater than 5.

Can X be negative? Say you play feline spike, check another spike (being 6 short), can i play stained honor, letting X equal negative 6 (which is not "greater than 5"), making me insta-pass spike, and basically fail my next attack or action (which i wont play)

Same scenario, but lets say i check a 4, can i give my control check minus negative 3 so that i pass? (in this example the absolute value of "x" is not greater than 5)

I dont think this card is supposed to function this way. I think it is like lynx tail with an implied "min 0" but i want to make sure. I would hate to go against it and not realize it works that way if it does.

Topic seems stupid, but again, just dont want to be "surprised" by this anytime soon

X has to be a positive number

good. Otherwise that card would be BROKEN
