201 – How does the Rogue and ally Gambit combo work?
Question
Answer
“The combo works as described in the article. Here are a couple of relevant sections of the rules reference: Non-Numerical Variable If a non-numerical variable (such as a letter or other symbol) is used in place of a numerical value, treat that variable as being equal to 0 for the purpose of game steps, game functions, and card abilities. If a non-numerical variable is defined to have a numerical value (such as a card ability assigning a value to ‘X’), treat that variable as the defined value. Printed The word “printed” refers to the text, characteristic, or value that is physically printed on the card. Nothing in these sections suggests that the Rogue/Gambit combo does not work. There is room for the interpretation that Gambit’s “printed” ATK and THW are the value of X defined by his ability.”
