Question

I’d like to clarify if it is still correct under the new obligation rules. In particular, I believe that discarding an obligation is a game state change (as “discard this obligation” is the entire effect of several actions). So, it seems to me that discarding Affairs of State is sufficient to change the game state, regardless of whether or not a Black Panther upgrade is discarded. If so, I see no reason you couldn’t choose it, even if the first option on his obligation is available.
