Question

164 – Some more questions for ya 1.I’m playing as Gamora. I have a confused status card on me. An enemy attacks me and I play her crosscutter event which has a triple label of (attack)(thwart) and (defense). I understand that I need to remove the confused status card and that replaces all the effects of the card. I also understand that I’m still considered to have defended this attack even though I didn’t prevent the 3 damage. Am I also considered to have attacked? 2.Same question but switch the confused status card with the stun status card. Would I still be considered to have thwarted? 3.If the basic gamora ally is made to attack from the old rivals treachery card, I understand she doesn’t exhaust and she will take consequential damage. Can her response trigger for the controlling player?

Answer

We are implementing a change to one of the rulings you mentioned: if you play Crosscutter in order to remove 1 or more status cards, you are not considered to have defended. The removal of the status replaces all abilities on the card, including the attack/thwart/defend actions. We are planning to clarify this in our next rules reference update. And yes, if the Gamora ally attacks via Old Rivals, her controller can trigger her Response ability.
