Question

So we were wondering when Zola’s Mutates When Revealed ability reveals Advanced Glider. Does Zola’s Mutate (via golden rule) circumvent that Advanced Glider is supposed to only attach to villains, or is there a rule that attachments can only ever be attached to what they tell us to?

Answer

  • In this situation, Advanced Glider should attach to Zola’s Mutate. This aligns with the intent of Zola’s Mutate and should circumvent the Glider’s “attach to” specification, which would not check for legality once attached.
  • Note: If Advanced Glider is attached to Zola’s Mutate, the Forced Response on Advanced Glider could not activate, because that ability only works if the Glider is attached to a villain. Do not treat the Mutate as an “attached villain.”
