When a unit with Buff attachments is recalled by Hourglass, does it keep the Buffs? And do Buffs act as damage shields that get removed when the unit takes damage?

Ruling: When Hourglass recalls a unit with Buffs attached, the unit keeps all Buffs. Buffs simply add Might to the unit and are not removed by damage unless a card specifically tells you to remove them.

Sequence:

• Hourglass removes all damage from the unit
• Recalls the unit to base exhausted
• Changes nothing else about the unit (Buffs remain attached)

Nuances:

• Buffs do not act as damage shields or buffers that absorb individual instances of damage
• Buffs only add Might to the unit's total Might value
• A unit with base 5 Might and three Buffs attached is simply an 8 Might unit
