⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.0–1.4)) and might be outdated.

Question

Two questions regarding cards in the Gambit reveal: 1. If Giant Wasp basic thwarts and uses Operative Skill, will she remove 1 additional threat from each scheme thwarted? Or only 1 additional threat total? 2. If Gambit is intending to play Rogue and uses Molecular Acceleration, does the charge counter it places reduce her cost, meaning she can be played for 1 less? Or do we have to commit all resources to playing her, and her constant effect will not take into account the charge counter? 3. Can the charge counter that Royal Flush places be used immediately to boost the damage it deals? Or since Royal Flush has already been played, is it too late for Throw de Card to be initiated?

Answer

  1. Giant Wasp using Operative Skill on her basic thwart would only remove 1 additional threat in total.
  2. If Gambit intends to play Rogue while spending Molecular Acceleration, then yes, the charge counter from MA would be accounted for when calculating Rogue’s reduced cost.
  3. Because Gambit’s Throw de Card ability is an Interrupt, you must spend the charge counters from him before resolving the ability text on Royal Flush.
