I am playing with the Shadowed Estate of the Scorpion and my opponent has a Deep Harbor in play.
Would I be able to prevent Deep Harbor from reducing the cost of a holding by two? I do know I can't prevent the gold production. It doesn't have a phase attached to the second ability. Can I stop it with the Stronghold?
It doesn't have a phase attached to the second ability
That means that it's simply *not* an ability, just a trait, therefore Shadowed Estate won't negate it.
