    Another consistently inconsistent?

    How is this different to immune?

    I 'member you can still target self with turtle on board.

    Yes, it's functionally Immune. But we word Blur like this for a few reasons.

    - First, this is a Basic card. Basic cards are *really* basic, very light on keywords. Like, there's no Combo in Basic Rogue, for example.

    - Second, we have the room on the card text here to just spell it out, and we don't intend to add any Immune-interation cards, so it's better off just being spelled out.

    - Third, it was a really weird flavor mismatch; the intended flavor of Blur is that Demon Hunters are super agile, dodging all incoming attacks, not a tanky juggernaut that is protected from all damage.

    Sorry, but I thought Blur was a Common Classic card? At least on the stream it was revealed with the other Classic cards and had a White Gem.

    Whoops, I misremembered! Blur *was* a Basic card through most of development, I forgot we swapped it into Initiate (apologies, there's a whooole lot to remember here). Other 2 reasons still apply, so we left it worded that way.
