Claw/Maintain Sheltons ability

[metallica]

If I maintain a Claw with Shelton. Do I get to use the look at the top 5 cards, or just the damage/effect of claw??

Nope....cuz technically, you're not playing a manuever, you're maintaing it. You get the claw effect, of course, just not the shelton ability. Still a badass card for him, though.

Thanks, my friend jesse was not sure, I figured I could ask on here. I was not complety positive. If that claw/maintain thing worked, that would be completly broken.

Shelton Benjamin's ability says, in part:
When you successfully **play** a maneuver... (rip a card, etc)

Since the effects of Maintain Hold isn't playing a maneuver, Shelton's ability doesn't trigger. But hey, Claw / Maintain is just as good, heh.
