Question
Question about the peril keyword. If I reveal “Fiery rage” from the upcoming Phoenix hero pack, can another player defend for me with either their basic hero DEF power, an ally they control or a (defense) labeled ability in this case?
Answer
- Yes, other players can defend for you. This is because the Fiery Rage is considered “resolved” once it tells Dark Phoenix to activate (or once the threat is placed on Consume the World). This is similar to how we’ve ruled on Assault · MarvelCDB being “fully resolved” and discarded after it tells the villain to make an attack activation, but before the steps of the villain’s attack activation are carried out.

- The “Peril” keyword on Fiery Rage is making it so that only the Phoenix player can cancel/ignore the Treachery’s reveal.
