Question

I have a question about Ms. Marvel, that mostly deals with future cards. Her ability states that “after you play an attack, thwart or defense event” you can exhaust her to take it back into your hand. Are those specifically the bolded TRAITS “attack, thwart and defense right below the art on the card?” Or is it (attack), (thwart), (defense) as written in card text? Or both? For the most part this doesn’t matter now as all of Ms. Marvel’s events and all current basic/aspect events have both, but I figured I would ask since this game is going to be around for a while.

Answer

Ms. Marvel’s ability references the traits: Attack, Thwart, and Defense. If for some reason there was a card with (defense) without the Defense trait, her ability would not interact with that card.
