BanalityBob - 4/5 - I love how there are several cards in this set that make Jaguar Warrior more viable. That aside, Baka is a real game changer card. Being able to direct a wound is extremely powerful, especially with decent icons and a body attached, and Shub seems to have quite a bit of toughness floating around. The fact that itâ€™s also resilient and is a Monster means that Shub has a new extremely strong three drop.

Danigral - 4/5 - Not a great body, but this will be the centerpiece of some fairly mean tricks, whether combined with other removal or bouncing.

dboeren - 4/5 - A free targeted wound is absolutely great and itâ€™s fairly easy to work around the wound on your side for the trade to come out in your favor and Shub has ample Toughness if you want it. Being a Monster can work to your advantage as well.

Kamacausey - 4/5 - Although Baka doesn't impress stat wise he gives shub something they have never had before in targeted removal and that itself is awesome. Shub has plenty of characters with toughness so his drawback is easily mitigated. I look to see a lot of this guy in the future.

mnBroncos - 5/5 - I maybe overrating this guy but a one time use of Khopesh on a character seems absolutely playable.

Reckoner - 4/5 - One of the biggest weaknesses in Shub has been a lack of targeted removal. Well that problem is now solved. Shub has a lot of toughness, so soaking up the wound should be relatively. Only average icons and skill for the cost keep this from getting a 5.

This might be a dumb question, but what if I don't have another character? Can I still wound my opponent's character? It doesn't use "then,..." in the language of the ability, so it seems like wounding my opponent's character is not dependent on me being able to wound one of my own. Can someone please confirm this?

I think it's all one effect, and the "and" suggests that both targets must be present. So, no other character, no Response.

I am pretty sure you can.

You haven't been told to choose characters, so there is no targeting failure. You noted the lack of a "then" so the multiple effect rule doesn't kick in, which leaves us with the cthulhu default of "do as much of it as you can".

This kind of wording almost always attracts FAQ errata, but without errata I think you are free to dodge your wound in any way you can (personally I think lindquist might be a fun choice here).
