<p>This suggests that encounter deck cards have both "in play effects" and "shadow effects".  Since Crebain does not differentiate between the two classes of effects, it follows that with Crebain in the staging area, shadow effects cannot be cancelled.</p>

<p>With Crebain in the staging area, can shadow card effects be cancelled? For example, does A Burning Brand still work?</p>
