Question

5 – I have a rules question for Marvel Champions. I have system shock from the Mad titans shadow campaign in my hand, that reads “you cannot choose to discard this card from your hand”. I also have another card in my hand. I have Plan B in my play and activate it and discard a random card to deal 2 damage. Can I discard System shock this way? Does the answer change, if I have only system shock in my hand?

Answer

Yes. As long as the discarding effect has you discard a “random” card (meaning, you’re not specifically choosing which card to discard), you are able to discard System Shock that way. It does not matter if System Shock is the only card in your hand.
