Attempting to block helpful enemy effects

    In a MP game, an enemy played Dwarven Battle Cry (dwarves draw one card), and my Dwarven warrior attempted to use a block card to negate the effect. He failed and drew the card, but it seems wonky that he would attempt to block it in the first place.


    Code:
    BATTLE LOG: Player=Melvin,Scenario=Streams,Room=reydien vs Melvin,RoomID=45509,Event=PlayAction,Action=Dwarven Battle Cry,Instigator=Felvin,Targets=
    BATTLE LOG: Player=Melvin,Scenario=Streams,Room=reydien vs Melvin,RoomID=45509,Event=TriggerFail,Trigger=Block,TriggeringActor=Hurthin,AffectedActors=Hurthin,TriggerType=Action,TriggerLocation=Hand
    BATTLE LOG: Scenario=Streams,Room=reydien vs Melvin,RoomID=45509,Msg=Melvin drew a card for MP AI Warrior 3
    BATTLE LOG: Scenario=Streams,Room=reydien vs Melvin,RoomID=45509,Msg=Melvin drew a card for MP AI Priest 3
    BATTLE LOG: Scenario=Streams,Room=reydien vs Melvin,RoomID=45509,Msg=Melvin drew a card for MP AI Wizard 3
    BATTLE LOG: Scenario=Streams,Room=reydien vs Melvin,RoomID=45509,Msg=reydien drew Charge for Hurthin

    This is a game feature and you should exploit it all you can.

    The trigger for Blocks has nothing to do with "helpful" or "harmful": it's whether the card was played by an ally or an enemy. After all, if a magical force is coming towards you from the enemy ranks, you can't tell the difference between a beneficial Minor Heal and a lethal (when you have 2 health) Misguided Heal.

    It may SEEM weird when something like a Sonic ability triggers a Block, but don't forget that this is a game where Skeletons can stop being immune to piercing damage if you remove their Only Bones card. You know. Removing the Skeleton's skeleton.
