Question

I wanted to better understand the timing of effects that resolve “after this attack”. I attack the Black Widow villain while she has retaliate and her ability discards the A.I.M commando minion. What resolves first, the delayed effect from the preparation ability which would put that minion into play and trigger Quickstrike or Black Widows retaliate?

Answer

Because the A.I.M. Commando’s preparation ability creates a delayed effect that resolves “after the attack”, the same timing as the Retaliate keyword, you can decide the order in which to resolve the abilities.
