Looking for clarification or generally accepted interpretation of Nightmists' Oblivion spell. It says to draw two cards and choose one to do damage to each target and the other to do damage to each non- hero target. The way I read this, for one card everybody - heroes and Villians - take damage and then for the other card only Villians take damage.
Does anybody have a different take or a rules clarification?
Thanks!
I think you've got it right.

One clarification: for one card, all targets (heroes, villians, and environment) - take damage and then for the other card only villian and environment targets take damage.

Does the one that damages everybody have to happen first, or can you choose the order the cards deal their damage?

you can choose the order. at least that is how i understand it.
What's the exact wording of the card? I can answer that if I know what it says.

If I remember correctly, it first affects all targets, then it affects all non-Hero targets. I don't believe you can choose the order.

Off topic...
Spiff, McBehrer and myself are always on the look out for new Infernal Relics information because we're not PT and have not received our KS.
As a piece of generosity to my poor deprived fellow forumites, the rules text for Oblivion is as follows:
So no, you can't choose the order. You have to damage yourself and the other heroes before you burn the villains.
G+ games: I am part of the 100%
Yep. The word "then" makes it completely unambiguous.

Not quite, since I believe you can target the villains before the heroes with the first effect.
Yeah, technically you can target all non-Heroes with the first effect then hit the Heroes with the first effect, then hit the non-Heroes with the second effect.

Ah, good catch Rabit! I forgot about the environment.
Thanks all for the feedback!
