I would like to propose officially renouncing these repeated communications.
This proposal is not implying that Bring Our Curses Home cannot be played on the creature attack of an Ahunt dragon, only that there will be no future attacks from doing so.
Specifically, the key line from Bring Our Curses Home is (underline mine):
The creature is an attack generated by a passive condition. The creature, then, is NEVER played/playable. The Netrep clearly confused this point, as shown below.Bring Our Curses Home wrote:Target character's company faces an attack from creature at the start of each movement/hazard phase if creature is playable.

Also, the Dragon Ahunt cards count as a creature attack, so these cards can be played on a company facing an Ahunt. Will the Ahunt be placed off to the side as well? If so, will the company ever be attacked by it? If the company can be attacked by the Ahunt, then the company would be attacked at the start of each M/H phase if the creature is playable, so technically speaking the company will be attacked every turn no matter where they are going, as Ahunts are always playable (Unless eliminated or already in play).
*** The Ahunt card is placed off to the side if either card is played on the Ahunt and a character is elimated [sic]. The company will be attacked during every movement/hazard phase, unless another effect makes the Ahunt unplayable.
CoE #46 wrote:Bring our curses home/Foes shall fall can be played on a character
whose company is facing a dragon hazard creature attack. Since ahunt
dragons are hazard creature attacks, I suppose you could play BoCH and
FSF whith [sic] them?
*** That is correct.
--------
BoCH/FSF makes this creature attack the company in the start of every
movement/hazard phase, if it is playable. Ahunt dragons, being
long-events and not creatures, are always playable. So it will attack
the company every turn, even if it stays at a haven?
*** When using Foes Shall Fall or Bring our Curses Home with an ahunt
dragon, the attack will only occur if the company is in a region where
the attack would normally occur. For instance, if a company is at a
haven, the ahunt dragon would not attack.

played any creature attack and thus it can be played on a dragon Ahunt.
The NetRep has previously ruled that the attack only happens in the
designated regions.
Meanwhile, these communications should not be construed as overruling whether the Ahunt card itself should be treated as a hazard creature, since this same Netrep also communicated:
-----CoE #41 wrote:Do "Dragon ahunt manifestation" and "Spider of the Morlat permanent
event attack" override the following card effect?
Stealth,Sneakin',Down Down to the Goblin-town,etc.
These cards only prohibit "Play of hazard creatures"
This does not prevent playing long event or permanent event.
Or Dragon ahunt attacks are just considered as played creature attack?
How about Morlat?
*** Attacks caused by hazard events are not considered playing a hazard
creature.
UPDATE:
The CoE Netrep is perhaps let off the hook, since this ICE ruling predates:
I would still be interested in proposing this be overturned for the sake of textual sanity, but it is no longer as strong a priority since it seems more evident that this was not a careless mistake.CDavis7M wrote: ↑Thu Mar 19, 2020 10:42 pmIchabod 1997/04/02 wrote:1) Ahunt cards are supposed to stay with Foes Shall Fall. This leads to the following clarification on Foes Shall Fall and Bring Our Curses Home:
Bring Our Curses Home/Foes Shall Fall (clarification)--These cards can be played on a character facing an attack from a Dragon Ahunt manifestation (but not At Home manifestation). In this case, place the Ahunt card, though a long-event, with the character as you would a normal creature card. The Ahunt card attacks when the company moves into the appropriate regions given.
