Question

27 – Can I use game time to ready another players ally? Can I response with Utopia if another player plays an X-Men ally? Both cards have a cost arrow and I’m confused how this relates to the rule that costs have to be paid by game elements you control

Answer

  • With Game Time, you can’t choose an ally you don’t control when resolving the ability. The “cost” in the ability makes it so you must choose an ally you control.
  • With Utopia, you can exhaust it even if an X-Men ally enters play under someone else’s control. “After an X-Men ally enters play” is a timing point, not part of the cost you’re paying.
