| Notes
|
There has for a very long time been a trick to "eating" an infinite number of threats and turning them into so much smoke. This comes down to utilizing any card which uses "prevent all wounds", as this does not prevent you from assigning those wounds, they just fizzle when laid down. All of these are being replaced with "unable to take wounds", which does not even let you assign wounds of any kind to the target. This is largely a targeted nerf for Dwarves, as they had two different tools to negate all threats, but all other instances of this wording have also been addressed.

Rulings[edit]
Because spotting twilight tokens is part of the cost of this card, you can't spot the twilight tokens that are added as you play the card. That is, there must be enough twilight tokens in the pool before you play the card. Other cards that share this ruling are Deep in Thought and Fury of the White Rider.
