Papal Bull
Faith Action
Cost 1, +1 Income
"Target Agent or Site loses all abilities. (Launching abilities will have no effect."
My question is this:
If I cast this on say....Mario or Ezio for instance, will they not be able to kill their intended target? The only reason I ask because I've never really considered playing the card until now, and have not really seen it played a lot. The "Launching abilities will have no effect" Seems blatant enough, but I figured I'd check with you guys.

Abilities that trigger on the agent resolving like ezio killing stuff, or Mario, or salai's card drawing, is exactly what the bracket text is referring to. They still take effect, because papal bull can never resolve faster than the agent resolving - cos it is an action and not a surprise. So no, you can't prevent ezio from killing an agent or site.

Ahhh...I was reading it as "cards that have a trigger ability will not go off" that's why I was curious because papal wouldn't resolve lol...I was totally confused. Thanks Tu.

It should read "It will have no effect on launching abilities."

Unless you make it a surprise.  |

Can you even target launching agents or sites with it?

Can you even target launching agents or sites with it? Good point, no. Unless its bugged and the text and targetability doesn't match. Either way it cannot affect on-resolve abilities. I still wish they would add a "on resolving" or some kind of such indicator on these on resolving abilities on agents to avoid confusion. But I guess recollection is setting its own norms and this is simply one of them that is different from mtg. |
