Question

8 – Hi, I had “I am inevitable” come up as a boost card, and I was wondering if I could use Preemptive Strike against the Infinity Stone’s boost icons. It says I “apply its boost icons as if it were a boost card”, and I know that other rulings have made “as if it were from hand” act very much like it came from your hand. But I don’t know if in this case the infinity stone is considered a boost card when I turn it face up to be able to trigger preemptive strike, or even something like Defiance. Thanks!

Answer

Yes. Because “I Am Inevitable” treats the Infinity Stone card “as if it were a boost card,” you are able to use abilities that affect boost cards on it, including Preemptive Strike.
