The Blinding Effect is when all effect text on all of your Unicorn cards in your stable, as well as any that enter your stable, shall be ignored as long as the downgrade is also in your stable. It does this by treating all Unicorn cards in your stable or that would enter your stable as Basic Unicorns with no effects.



There are 3 cards that cause the blinding effect; Blinding Light, Medieval Sanitation, and Mid-Sex Charlie Horse (Currently not updated 2nd Edition text).


All cards contain the effect text;


The Second Print card text only negates any Triggered effects, Continuous effects will still be active.
This Downgrade card’s effect is continuous and is applied to any Unicorn card that is in your stable, would be played into your stable, or otherwise enters your stable, regardless of source.
This Downgrade card’s effect applies prior to all entering stable effects that would be triggered for cards entering your stable and negates them.
This Downgrade card’s effect does NOT change card-type. Magical Unicorn cards are still Magical Unicorn cards that are considered Basic Unicorns. This is identical to the Masquerade effect. No card changes a card type only what it is considered to represent in the game.

Interactions

Baby Unicorns cards are immune to this effect. Baby Unicorn cards can only exist in the Stable or Nursery (and never in your hand or the discard pile). They cannot otherwise be returned to your hand, destroyed, or sacrificed as they would instead be returned to the nursery.
This card effect with a Masquerade card in the same stable. A unicorn card will not gain immunity until after it has entered the stable, any enter effect will not trigger.
This card effect has no interaction with the Queen Bee Unicorn card. The Queen Bee Unicorn card states, “Basic Unicorn cards cannot enter any player’s Stable except yours.” Blinding Light specifies that your Unicorn cards are considered “Basic Unicorns” but not that they are considered “Basic Unicorn cards.” This is an important distinction- your Magical Unicorn cards are still considered Magical Unicorn cards that are Basic Unicorns. As such, these cards are not impacted by Queen Bee Unicorn’s effect.
