Azaven question

[Mechalibur]

In Azaven's before the encounter ability, he makes you either "discard 1 card from your deck" if you succeed the check, or "discard 1d4+1 cards from your deck" if you fail.

Is this supposed to be from the top, at random, or selected by the player? I would normally think from the top, but the precedent for that is for the card to explicitly state as much (i.e. "discard the top card of your deck")

[Mike Selinker]

From the top.

[Mechalibur]

Thanks Mike!

I figured that was it, but it was just a bit weird that it didn't specify when other cards did. If there's another printing would that be updated?

[Mike Selinker]

I'm sure we'll standardize that template at some point. I doubt it will come in the form of an updated card, though. Up to Vic.

Is this something that is actively being looked at in S&S, or is it already to late to change anything in that printing?

[Vic Wertz]

It really should say "discard the top card of your deck", but I'm not sure if that's worthy of errata for a card that won't be reused in future sets.

And no, S&S hasn't gone to the printer yet, but we're close.
