Question

I have a question about Restrained (Ebony Maw #20/MTS #83). The card says “Attach to the friendly character with the highest ATK and exhaust it.” My question is, if it is revealed as an encounter card when you are playing solo in alter-ego form and you have no allies, what happens? Would the card attach to the only friendly character (your identity in alter-ego) or would it be discarded without effect because your alter-ego has no ATK?

Answer

Since Alter-Egos do not have an ATK value, they are not valid targets for Restrained. Restrained would not attach to anything if there was only an Alter-Ego in play.
