Question

I have a few questions about the leadership support card, Med lab. 1.Is an ally being defeated simultaneous to that ally leaving play? For example, does the Cyclops ally’s forced interrupt trigger before he is placed here with Med Lab? 2.Is the ally considered out of play while placed here with Med lab? 3.Should we read “place it here” as “attach to” and is now underneath Med lab? 4. If “place” is different from “attach to”, how?

Answer

Yes; when an ally is defeated, and before it’s targeted by Med Lab, it’s considered to be in the discard pile. Ally Cyclops’ Forced Interrupt can resolve before he’s placed on Med Lab.
Yes, the ally is considered to be out of play. Its abilities are not active, it does not count toward uniqueness, and it does not count toward your ally limit.

3-4) When an ally is “placed” at Med Lab, it should be treated as “attached to” Med Lab (and “out of play”).
