Chicken On Your Head and Justice Pie questions

[Bimbelton]

First question: Curse! Chicken On Your Head!

The card says that "...Any Curse or Bad Stuff that removes your Headgear will take the chicken with it." -- Am I correct in interpreting that if you do not have headgear this Curse does not effect you?

Second question: Justice Pie

The card states that a curser, or anyone who played a card against you in a combat must discard two cards. -- Can cards that are being carried be discarded to satisfy this situation or any other situation that tells you to discard cards?

Thank you!

The curse definitely affects you whether you have Headgear or not, so no, you are not correct. And curses and Bad Stuff that remove headgear remove the Chicken if you have Headgear or not.

If you are told to discard cards without a source, then you can discard from your hand or cards in play, so even cards that you aren't carrying (e.g., a Race card) can be discarded for this. If it told you to discard a specific type of card, such as Items, then those must be in play (they are only considered cards until you play them). Thus with Justice Pie, you can choose from either location.

First question: No. It will affect you. I don't recall if a Curse that removes headgear will still remove the Chicken if you don't have headgear at all though. Edit: But Clipper did! Tag team!!

Second question: If it doesn't specify "in play" or "from your hand" or anything else specifically, you can discard whatever cards belong to you.

Very good. Thanks for the help guys.

I want to double confirm the usage of Justice Pie. We need to discard the Justice Pie after we used it, right?

Thanks.

Yes. I thought it might have been officially addressed at some point that it should have Usable Once Only text, but I can't find it, so I might have the wrong card. In any case, it's clearly intended to be a One-Shot Item, so you should discard it after use.
