Hold the Island Fast with a Bulwark of Will (Stone's Unyielding Defiance)

Frequently Asked Questions

Blighted Island cards

• If All Things Weaken is out, can the third level of Hold the Island Fast with a Bulwark of Will (Stone's Unyielding Defiance) save adjacent Presence from destruction?
  No. That innate threshold specifies "When a ... Blight card directly destroys Presence". All Things Weaken changes the rules for how Blight destroys Presence, but does not directly destroy Presence itself, it's adding Blight which does so.

• What does "When an Event or Blight Card directly destroys Presence" mean, for Stone's innate Hold the Island Fast with a Bulwark of Will?
  It means the Event / Blight card uses the words “Destroy (Presence)” rather than, e.g., adding Blight that then happens to Destroy Presence. This Innate’s effect can be used even if the Presence Destruction was a choice, paying a cost or otherwise optional.
