Thanks karn987, reading is a good thing as it appears. I have gone through the book a few times. This makes better sense.
This would also be true for Lady Justice Powerful Counter. Since it is not an Effect it is not removed at the end of the round.
It is going to be important to keep track of say a Lady J Powerful +1 Counter and say the +1 Powerful effect from the spell Elite Combat Training which would cleared at the end of Animation Round. Both could be on Lady J at once.
This game gets better and better the more we play. First game we were shuffling our decks at the end of Animation, then we fixed this and things got a lot more interesting, better interesting.
This clarification will make things better too.
Where do you play in MA? I am down the South Shore and typically play on the Cape.
