Merchant Lord (Cleric Class Deck) states:
Discard this card to give any number of cards to another character.
Merchant (RoR AD 2) states:
Discard this card to give a card to another character at any location.
So, can Merchant Lord only be used to give multiple cards to another character at your location? Meaning that it only allows you to change the TIMING in which you normally can give a card (before you move at the beginning of your turn) and the AMOUNT of cards you can give ( multiple vs. the normal allotment of one).
Whereas the Merchant changes the TIMING and the LOCATION RESTRICTION?
I'm not sure Merchant Lord is really an upgrade, or more of a side grade depending on the situation....
