This Special allows the player to select one of the opponent's placed cards and have it discarded immediately. When the card indicates the opponent must discard a placed card, then any card meeting the designated type may be selected (even one placed on the Reserve Character) The term "placed" implies that the Universe, Power, Ally, Tactic or Special card being targeted is assigned to a particular Character. This card cannot be used to remove the effects of a Universe card from an attack directed against a Character. Once a Universe card is used for an attack, it is no longer considered "placed," and therefore this Special would have no effect. This card is considered an attack against the targeted character and may be avoided or negated. If the card targets the opponent and not a specific character, it may not be avoided but may be negated. Cards that are 'in play' on a character are not considered placed and may not be targeted by this Special. If this Special is drawn in a hand where the opponent has no placed cards, it must either be placed or discarded as unplayable.
Meta Rules
Meta #25 Only attacks which target a specific Character may be shifted or otherwise defended by a Character specific defensive action. Attacks made on the "opponent" may not be shifted or avoided. Attacks made on a Battlesite cannot be shifted.
Meta #32 If conditions are such that the card cannot be played this battle unless the opponent performs some action, then the card must be placed or discarded as unusable. If the player holds cards that can create the situation by which the card would be playable, then it can be kept in hand.
Meta #51 Whenever a Special targets the opponent, the Reserve Character may be affected by the Special.
Meta #101 A defending player cannot shift an attack to a Character if it would result in the shifted attack having no effect.
Meta #103 If a Special calls for some type of discard to occur (and no secondary effect), then the targeted Character must fulfill at least one of the conditions specified by the Special (e.g., "Remove 1 Hit" can only be played on a Character who has a hit; "Discard a placed card and remove 1 hit" can be played on someone who has a hit, or someone who has a placed card, or someone who has both). If the specification is not known or the Special has a secondary effect which would come into play (e.g., "Discard one {type} card from hand") then the Special may be played regardless.
Meta #150 Specials which target a Character must be played against a character - they may not be played against a Special or a Battlesite.
Meta #152 Specials which read "Target" (with no qualifier) or "Target Opponent" should read "Target Character". Specials which say "Opponent" without the word "Target" refer to the opponent (not a specific character).
