havok's 'geo-knowldege' and dow

[breadmaster]

Remove 1 Hit from Havok's Battlesite. (KQ)

would this remove dow?  i've seen it argued that AVs (target may not attack) can be removed as 'hits'.

I would have to say no on that one, and only because the DoW affects the 'opponent' not the 'target battlesite.'  Otherwise it would be a good tactic.

Much in the same way you can't use the site to 'avoid' the DoW because it's not a targeted attack.

for what it's worth, I will now and forever more allow my opponents to remove DoW with this Special. Attacking a Battlesite directly is just. so. rare.! The ONLY time I've done it is using my OJ-heavy deck (OJ from Marvels), and I don't know if I've ever used that deck vs. Havok and if I have, my opponent DEFINITELY did not use that GeoKnowledge card... So, I move to allow it

Sounds like a fun way to play it out, you know, in your own circles of friends...  I certainly wouldn't try that in a tourney.

oh yeah, it's not legit per the rules. I'm just saying I'd let it slide in a spot game

if I was judging a tournament, tho, no way! DoW is certainly not a "hit" against a Battlesite. if it was, there'd be a slew of ways to defend against it.
