187 – I want to make sure I understand how paying for a card works exactly. Step 1. “Generate” as many resources as you want to or are able to by discarding cards from your hand with a resource icon and or using a bold Resource: triggered ability. Step 2. Decide which of the generated resources you want to “spend” to “pay” for the cost of the card. Any remaining generated resources are considered “overpaid” and lost unless an ability specifically allows you to use those. So for example I want to play the drop kick aggression event. I place it on the table faceup. I generate 3 physical and 1 energy resources with the strength and stored energy resource cards. I then choose to spend the 3 physical resources to pay to make sure I get to stun the enemy and draw 1 card. Afterwards the energy resource which I overpaid with is now lost. Is that all correct?
