TOTALLY BROKEN ...or im just crazy...

[waiya]

Hi there im a new judge and I was just looking through my collection takeing note of card enterations that may require rulings when I came across this one. I have already checked though the QA ,the current errata ,and confered with a fellow judge but I'm stumped.

fact 1: the rules of play state that your faction begins "In Play"

fact 2: A players faction can be targeted by cards in play or being played within restrictions of those cards( Dragon stratgey, Bask Bile, Magic Vault)

fact 3: There is no rule as to how a player can play a faction from his hand.

fact 4: forget's rules texts states
cost: pick a non-resource card
effect: Put the card into its owner's hand. Look at your opponent's hand and pick a card. Your opponent must discard that card.


Now given the previous facts true. wouldn't the ultimate turn 3 kill be: start turn; play 5th resource; pay 5 for "Forget" targeting your opponets faction?; once it resolves the player looks in his opponets hand and picks the faction forceing him to discard it.

Is this leagal?, If so I beleive I have stumbled on to quite possible the most powerful card in the game.

Don't "Forget" about this rule, number 2 this week under "Card Effects":


If a card instructs you to pick something, you cannot pick a faction unless the card specifically says “pick a faction”.

Because "a nonresource card" does not specifically say a faction, Forget cannot pick a faction card.

Thanks,
