From the High Seas release notes · June 6 2025
- When Chum’s activated ability resolves, it generates a continuous effect that lasts for the turn and requires the opponent to choose Chum as the target of their attacks if able.
- If an attack does not specify a specific target (e.g. the attack doesn’t say “this can only attack heroes”), that attack must target Chum.
- If 2 or more Chums’ effects are active you may choose any of them to attack. It does not prevent you from attacking.
- If an attack requires specific targets (e.g. Apocalypse Automaton), that attack is unable to target Chum if Chum does not meet the required targeting specifications.
- If an attack allows you to have an additional attack-target (e.g. Barbed Barrage), one of those attack-targets must be Chum if able.
- If you play or activate an attack, then your opponent activates and resolves Chum, you will continue with the current attack against your originally declared attack-targets. Subsequent attacks must target Chum if able.
Keyword notes
Watery Grave - When this is put into your graveyard from the arena, turn it face-down.
- Watery Grave is an ability keyword.
- Watery Grave is a trigger that ONLY triggers if the card is put from the arena into the graveyard, excluding when it is a non-permanent defending card on the combat chain. It also does not trigger if it is put into the graveyard by other means (e.g. discarded from your hand, destroyed from the top of the deck, put into the graveyard from your deck).
- When Watery Grave’s triggered effect resolves, you must turn that card with watery grave face-down in your graveyard.
- Similar to face-down cards in the banish zone, you can look at face-down cards in your graveyard. Opponents cannot look at face-down cards in your graveyard.
- Cards and effects that interact with cards in the graveyard cannot interact with face-down cards in the graveyard unless the effect specifies that it affects face-down cards. For example, if a card requires you to banish 3 random cards from your graveyard as an additional cost, face-down banished cards are unable to be banished from your graveyard this way to pay for the cost.
