[QUOTE="Nullzone, post: 5566205, member: 97538"] Ah, I misunderstood your distinction then. I was still thinking in terms of reading a power block, and that the entire Effect line is known unless the Effect (or some part thereof) first requires a condition be met, in which case they don't know it until the condition is met, which would mean monsters wouldn't understand Divine Challenge until they violate it. But if I understand you correctly now, your distinction is that if the condition to be met simply enables another, separate action (whether taken by the creature imposing the Effect or some other unit on the field), then they wouldn't be aware of that trigger or its consequence until after it fires...whereas an automatic "If X then Y" response that requires no further action from any party (such as Divine Challenge) is made known immediately. Is that more in terms with what you're saying? [/QUOTE]
