Question
Can an eliminated player reveal a card? Playing against Magneto as Cyclops and Phoenix. Scott Summers revealed Metal Shards. He had 1 HP so this eliminates him. RRG says to continue resolving the encounter card. It places the 3rd magnet counter on the main scheme. The main scheme now triggers. What happens? The main scheme says “you” reveal a card. So, 1) Does the ability not trigger because “you” is eliminated? 2) The ability triggers and “you” reveal the magnetic card as an eliminated player. 3) The ability triggers and you do the discarding from encounter deck until you hit a magnetic card, but then it fizzles as an eliminated player cannot reveal a card. 4) The ability transfers to the next player in player order and they become the “you” and they reveal the encounter card. If it matters, the revealed card is Magnetic Bubble.
Answer
Alex: In this case, we rule that the eliminated player should finish resolving Metal Shards by placing the magnet counter on the main scheme, but they should not resolve the Forced Response on the main scheme.
