Question

Making sure we understand the process of revealing a minion. Does the minion get revealed and engage the player simultaneously in one step? Some examples where it could matter. Which player resolves a when revealed ability on a minion after Target Spotter was triggered? Can you trigger the anticipation upgrade as an interrupt to engagement to ready and then play the Warped Reality event to cancel the entire card?

Answer

  • Revealing and engaging a minion occur simultaneously, though they are different triggering conditions.
  • Target Spotter can change who a minion engages, but not who resolves the “When Revealed” ability. If Player 1 reveals a minion and Player 2 triggers Target Spotter to engage it, Player 1 still resolves the “When Revealed” ability.
  • Yes, you can trigger Anticipation and Warp Reality in either order, since both are Hero Interrupts and the engage and reveal occur simultaneously.
