Monster, Mirage, and Nelson's blood

[sam]

Hi everyone,

Got a quick question, was wandering what are your thoughts.

1. We got a combat with monster (+12 shark)

2. Then we got the card "Nelson's blood" (+5 to one side).

3. Then, threw another card in, "Mirage" (discard any one monster in this combat and replace with another).

Question:

If "Mirage" is used in circumstances like this one, is "Nelson's blood" discarded?

It does say "discard any card that is used to **modify** a monster.
Nelson's blood **modifies** a monster, therefore should be discarded along with monster.

Thoughts, anyone?

Please let me know.

Kind regards
Sid

One-shot Items that say they affect the side (like Nelson's Blood) do not modify the Monster in the same way that Monster Enhancers (which specifically state they modify a Monster) do. So the card would stay and continue to affect the Monsters side combat strength.
