From the Mastery Pack: Guardian + Smash Palace release notes · August 8, 2025
  • Blinding of the Old One’s Crush ability triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a Guardian hero. When this triggered effect resolves, it generates a continuous effect that will be active during that hero’s next turn. During their next turn, cards they own will lose all abilities.
  • The continuous effect generated from Blinding of the Old Ones’ triggered effect affects all cards the player owns, including cards in the arena, hand, arsenal, deck, pitch zone, banished zone, graveyard, and even cards outside the game.
  • When a card loses their abilities, simply treat that card’s text box as empty.
  • If a card loses their abilities this way, they are not prevented from gaining abilities from other effects.
