Question

For Gambit’s card Royal Flush – can you use the counter that the card generates on the attack itself? (Gambit’s ability is an interrupt that is used when a card is played, so as per rules it seems like no, but I get the impression that intent is that you should be able to). Similarly, if you play Molecular Acceleration to pay for Rogue, does Rogue get the discount for the counter generated or not?

Answer

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.
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. The Interrupt on MA grants the charge counter before MA is actually spent toward Rogue’s cost
