card ruling on 'Venerable'

By Doozee, in UFS Rules Q & A

E: Add this card to your card pool: For the rest of this turn, foundations do not add to progressive difficulty of non-foundation cards.

My question: At end of turn that this enhance was used is this card dicarded or returned to the staging area?

Discarded because it was added to your card pool not played into your card pool.

See the Pillar of Heaven discussion for the exact same reasoning.

ok - another clarification - if a character card such as Ivy * R: Commit 1 foundation: after your attack deals 3 damage or less, draw a card. If the damage is zero can you still draw a card?

for an attack to deal damage it has to cause a vitality loss, and ivy's ability requires it to do damage less than or equal to 3. so no, 1-3 dmg required for ivy's reaction

^The same reasoning worded differently: If your move does 0 damage, it doesn't actually deal damage. So if your attack has 0 or less damage, you'll never be able to play her R

I have a lot of magic players who have a hard time accepting that zero damage is no damage at all. Thanx for putting it in writing. happy.gif
