When a covenant card is placed in battle, it is
being used as an enhancement and is thus treated like an enhancement.
When the covenant card is added to the artifact pile, either active
or inactive, it is treated as an artifact. When the covenant card
is still in the draw pile, it is treated as a covenant card (not
an enhancement and not an artifact).
As an Enhancement
If the covenant card is in battle, thus being used
as an enhancement, and something happens that the covenant card
is returned to your hand, the covenant card is treated as an enhancement
for future playing purposes. (This means that you can’t use
a covenant card as an enhancement, have it returned to your hand,
and then you decide to use it as an artifact. It MUST be used as
an enhancement in later turns.)
If you choose to place a covenant card from you
hand into the Storehouse fortress card (allows you to store
enhancements for future use) you are declaring that the covenant
card is an enhancement that therefore you must use the covenant
card as an enhancement in later turns.
As an Artifact
If you
use the covenant card as an artifact, all rules of artifacts apply.
Covenant cards, as artifacts, when they are exhausted, are discarded
the same way an artifact is discarded. Covenant cards, as artifacts,
may also be discarded by Destruction of Nehushtan, because it is
being treated as an artifact. |
