Ascendant Divine ability question

[Ascendant Divine ability question]

Why would anyone think a divine gift can be countered when it does not count as Spells for the purpose of other effects

 

Sigh

 

That was my take as well. Thank you for the response.

Very nice creations!

 

By chance are any of these available as exports from Strange Eons that I may just download and import into the program/

The way we have always played it is that these cards are all "objects" therefore they must be in your possession (i.e.: carrying them) in order to use them.

[Ascendant Divine ability question]

Hi, new member and first post. Hoping you can help settle a dispute

 

Our table is at odds over the Ascendant Divine's special ability:

 

"Once per round, you may cast one of your divine gifts as if it were a Spell, though it does not count as Spells for the purpose of other effects and does not count against the maximum number of Spells you may cast during a turn."

 

The person playing the Ascendant Divine used her divine gift Finger of Death to kill off another player. This player had a Counter Spell spell card, but the dispute was that he could not cast that to negate the Finger of Death, because it was a divine gift and not a spell.

 

The table was split on if that was how the divine gift granted spell cards would function, so I am looking for advice from other players on their interpretation of how her special ability would work in a situation like this.

 

Thanks for your time and advice
