Question

The new Rogue (Protection ally) now copies the base ATK and THW of her ability’s target (instead of printed). Hope Summers (from the Hope Summers) encounter set has star icons as values of her ATK and THW and her textbox defines her base ATK and THW as ATK and THW of your hero.
However, the Star Icon entry says that when referred to by a game step or ability, it’s supposed to be treated as 0. When Rogue ally uses her ability on Hope Summers, what bonus does she get? 0 or equal to your hero’s ATK and THW? 2. The “Leave Play” entry now has a “when a card leaves play” bullet point. Is the timing of that “when” before the card actually leaves play? Or at the same time?

Answer

The star icon entry is outdated; it should say that the value of the star icon is defined by the associated ability, except in the case of no associated ability, in which the value would be treated as 0. Hope Summers’ ability defines her star icons as matching your hero’s basic power values, so if Rogue copies Hope she will in essence add your hero’s power values to her own. 2. The updated bullet under “Leaves Play” is not intended as an interrupt ability; this bullet and all subbullets are carried out simultaneously with the card leaving play.
