Question

168 – Regarding Deadpools armed to the teeth upgrade. 1.Does the upgrade you swap in with retain the same state the previous one was in? (Ready/exhausted) 2.Can you swap an upgrade you control in your play area with an upgrade that uses “attach to”? 3.Can you swap an upgrade you control attached to something with an upgrade that doesn’t attach to something? 4.Can you swap an upgrade attached to something with another upgrade that attaches to something? And does it have to be attached to the same target that the other one was attached to? 5.Do cards swapped and put under armed to the teeth lose any counters on them? 6.Does “swap” get around play restrictions like attach to a guardian ally? (Assuming you can choose attach to upgrades from question 2)

Answer

When Armed to the Teeth “swaps” one Weapon upgrade for another, the swapped-in Weapon (“A”) should be placed in the same location as the swapped-out Weapon (“B”).

For instance, if B was attached to a character, A should be attached to that same character. Disregard any “attach to” requirements on A when swapping it in this way.

If B was not attached to a character, A would not be either, even if A would normally “attach to” a character. A is still in play, though.

Since you’re putting A into play this way, it enters play ready and with all of its “uses” if any. Since you’re removing B from play this way, remove any counters from B.
