Rules Questions / Travellers as Young Witch's Bane
« on: November 17, 2017, 01:25:46 pm »
The Bane card for Young Which can be chosen from any 2 or 3 value card pile. Both of the base-level Traveller cards (Page and Peasant) are 2 value, meaning they do qualify, and could be selected to be Young Witch's Bane. However, when playing these cards you may upgrade them to cards not in the supply. I assume the official ruling is that if the Bane card is Page, then a Treasure Hunter (upgraded from a Page) cannot be revealed as Bane because they are not from the Page supply pile, adding a risk-vs-reward aspect to upgrading. However, some doubt has been sewn in my mind based on the Empires preview on Split Decks, where it says Catapult/Rocks can be chosen as Bane, and both cards qualify as Bane, despite Rocks having a cost of 4. Catapult/Rocks is a single card pile, but it does not consistently have a cost of 3. I figured I'd ask just to be sure: Can upgraded Travellers be revealed as Young Witch's Bane?
