Question

Saw a couple questions I wasn’t sure about over the weekend. 1.In what ways is your identity considered to have generated resources? Check my understanding. ✓ Resource abilities on your identity ✓ Resource abilities on upgrades ✓ The resource card type from hand ✓ events (if any or for the future) ? Non resource card type cards discarded from hand X Allies X Supports X Player Side schemes. The SP//DR nemesis minion, M.O.R.B.I.U.S brought up this question. So for example, I’m playing as Ironman. I’m in hero form. I have M.O.R.B.I.U.S engaged with me. I place the avengers mansion support card on the table. I pay the cost with a Genius resource card from hand, a first aid event card from hand and I use the pepper pots support card resource ability. How much damage does my hero take? Second Question. Does the Operation Zero Tolerance side scheme trigger on minions that were treated as allies like from the karma ally, when they are defeated and discarded?

Answer

A player is considered to “generate resources” any time they pay a cost by either spending cards from their hand or using a Resource ability on a card they control. Most of the time, if a player is playing a card that costs 1 or more, they will be generating resources for that card. For your example, if you’re Iron Man paying for the 4-cost Avenger’s Mansion, you generate 2 resources by spending Genius, 1 resource by spending First Aid, and X resources by using Pepper Potts’ ability, where X is the resource of the top card in your discard pile. This means an engaged M.O.R.B.I.U.S. deals you 3 + X damage. Note, it’s possible the total is greater than 4, the cost of Avenger’s Mansion, because it’s possible to “generate” resources beyond a card’s cost when paying for it. As for Operation Zero Tolerance, no, a minion being treated as an ally would not get placed under OZT when defeated; once it’s discarded from play, it reverts to being a minion, and there will be no ally for OZT to find
