rupture blue candle interaction?

[lordofdekingz]

Is rupture supposed to give you strength when you exhaust a cause via blue candle? you lose the hp from a relic, not from a card. I would like to keep this interaction, but maybe change rupture to "when you lose hp from a card or relic" ?

The HP loss is from playing the Curse, so no, the wording doesn't need to be changed at all.

fire breathing deals damage for every attack you play. still, it isnt damage by an attack (attack damage). Its blue candle that makes you lose 1hp by playing a curse

No, its not. Read the description of Blue Candle. It makes Curses playable, therefore, you are losing HP by playing a card.

I don't see what Firebreathing has to do with this, that Power only applies to Attack cards, and Curses are non-Attack cards, so its completely irrelevant to Blue Candle.

You are losing hp by playing a card. we agree on that. You do no lose hp "from a card", but from blue candle on the trigger "curse card played"

fire breathing was just an example. It triggers on (attack) cards played, just as blue candle does (on curse cards played) and has an effect that deals damage. But with fire breathing, the damage doesnt count as dealt by the trigger (an attack card), with blue candle it does count as self damage from a card

If blue candle said - on curses, replace "unplayable" with "take 1 damage when played" and make them exhaust - it would be fine, because the damage would be on the card text
