Question

I’m playing the Age of Apocalypse campaign and I have a couple of questions about it: 1) I understand that cards in the mission area can’t be affected by other card abilities (unless the card specifies mission area) but can the cards in the mission area affect other cards? For example, if I play an X-Men ally to the mission area, can I trigger Utopia? 2) If I reveal Agent of Apocalypse after I’ve already defeated the mission side scheme, can I choose to send him to the Mission Area (from his When Revealed text)? If not, what stops me from doing so. It’s unclear to me if this is an intended incentive to defeating the mission area early or not. Thanks, as always, for the rules help.

Answer

1. Yes. Allies in the mission area “enter play” which satisfies Utopia’s triggering condition, allowing you to ready an X-Men character outside of the mission area.

2. No. Once the Mission side scheme is defeated, all cards are removed from the mission area, and there is no longer a mission area to place Agent of Apocalypse in.
