Covenant Cards

Covenant cards are unique in that they be either an enhancement or an artifact. This can raise some serious game play questions. I have tried to address them here.  

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.
