A recent thread here made me look more closely at the rules, and despite that the example on page 12 uses the phrase "SHIELD icons", shields are not icons. Why? Well, if you look at the card illustration that defines icons, that only considers icons below values, and other references (such as the section being names Shields and Icons) agree with this.
Why does this matter? Well there's the special power text "your cards with icons are ignored". But, you say, there aren't any cards with that text. But there will be. And Mad Mike Magpie also is affected. Mad Mike Magpie? Hank Highflier Hawk's companion, exiled to a deck coming soon - I'll let you find out which. (This strictly goes slightly beyond my usual minimal hint style, but I think I'd be allowed this one.) |
