Question

109 – There is a ruling that says “Q: Can I resolve Images of Ikonn if the villain is already confused and there is no threat on a scheme? A: Yes. As long as any part of the ability on Images of Ikonn can change the game state, then it will do as many effects as it is able. While its first effect may fail to change the game state if the villain is already confused and there is no threat on a scheme, its second effect can change the game state by placing itself in the Invocation deck discard pile.” Is this ruling still correct now there is the new valid target rule?

Answer

The result of that FAQ question is the same under “valid target” rules, but our reasoning behind it is different. Each Invocation card has at least two “targets,” one of which is the card itself. So, each Invocation card always has a valid target, and can always have its ability initiated and resolved, even if all that happens is it places itself in the invocation deck discard pile.
