Are the Prince and Crab considered distinct piece names for purposes of Doomsayer, or are they affected by uttering “King” and “Pawn”? Are Neutral pieces affected by Doomsayer?
A. They are distinct piece names. By the transformed pieces rule, they can be affected by cards that name the original piece. In this case, you may remove the Crab after saying either “Pawn” or “Crab.” Saying “King” has no effect, as usual. Saying “Prince” will force you to remove your Prince, and saying “Pawn” when your only pawn has been Couped to be a King has no effect. Yes, either player may lose a Neutral piece by naming it while Doomsayer is in effect.
