The Embalmed again

[Arkdeniz]

Hi folks

Can you Embalm a swarm?

That is, a swarm “cannot be targeted or affected by non-attack spells that do not specifically target swarm creatures”

TheEmbalmed “removes a non-epic living creature in any discard pile from the game”

Now, the Embalmed does not say ‘target’ anywhere, but does the swarm’s use of ‘affected’ forbid an embalming of a dead swarm?

[Reddicediaries]

You may not.

The recent revision requires that you target such creature, and since bees cannot be targeted, these cannot the be target of The Embalmed.

There was a revision? I must have missed it. Where might I find it?

Have you been keeping up with the recent Arcane Duels videos? All the changes can be found there or on OCTGN.

Oh, I thought they were beta for playtesting at this stage.

They are, but that change is almost certainly final.
