Extended description

arrow

This is an excellent event, and it's downright nasty. The Confused Hunchback must be directed at a monster champion in any pool. That monster comes under the control of the event player, who can now attack any other champion in the same pool as the affected monster. Once the monster's target has been selected, the affected player must lay down his hand, face up. Combat is conducted normally, with both sides using cards from the open hand. The loser is discarded and the winner gets to draw a card, which can be played immediately, like a spoils. Once the battle is over, the Confused Hunchback is sent to the Void, and if the monster champion was victorious, it remains in it's own pool, now back in control of it's owner.

Remember that since Confused Hunchback is a harmful event, it cannot be played on champions who are immune to them. However, a champion who is immune to events could still be attacked by a monster under the influence of the Confused Hunchback, as the event is not directly affecting the champion under attack.

One of the best ways to use this card is to attach it to a champion whose level is lower than the one you want it to attack. That way you can get first pick from your opponent's hand. Go ahead and use the card you wouldn't want coming at you, like that Cataclysm! (119/4th). Another good reason to choose the lower level is because your opponent can choose to lose right away without playing a card otherwise, and you're guaranteed to use at least one of his cards. Note that even if the affected player can declare a loss right away, he still must lay his entire hand face up.
