Just so that I can answer an arguement, explain how this card works for me.

plot twist - green lantern series


"Reign of Terra" The main thing in question is that if a character never had a team affiliation then they cant gain the deathstroke TA because they never lost anything to begin with. (its a dumb argument but for the sake of ending his rediculas argument I wanted to know someone opinion)

This is a situation where they just need to read the card carefully...

Ongoing: Characters you control lose all team affiliations other than Deathstroke and cannot gain team affiliations other than Deathstroke.

The card does nothing to give affiliations. All it does is take away any non-Deathstroke affiliation from characters that have an affiliation, and if any character that player controls were to gain an affiliation somehow, they do not gain that affiliation if it's anything except for the "Deathstroke" affiliation. That is, Deathstroke (7) can still use his ability, while something like Green Lantern Ring cannot grant the new affiliation while you control this card.

The affiliation loss and affiliation gain restrictions are two seperate pieces; RoT doesn't care if your now-unaffiliated characters had an affiliation or not. If a character would gain the Deathstroke affiliation, it'll get it; if it's a different affiliation, it will not.
