Clarifications/FAQ

Because it is a response card, Nightmare can be played at any time and on any turn. But damage must be successfully taken. If a champion is targeted by a mercenary, but uses a Winged Guardian to redirect the damage, for example, a Nightmare could not be played.

Once attached, Nightmare cannot be removed unless card text removes it or the player rolls a 5 or a 6 at the start of their turn. Keep in mind that "at the start of each of their turns" means that this must be done before any cards are played. A player cannot heal their champion with a Healing Potion, for example, before they roll for the Nightmare.

If a champion dies because of a Nightmare, looting of the hand does not occur, because the champion died during its own player's turn.
