Hey guys, I'm pretty sure about these rulings, but I'll like to confirm them. I was just in a game, and there were some disputes over them. 1) My opponent draws two extra cards at the start of build due to Lex Luthor, Nefarious Philanthropist. Later on in the turn, Lex is KO'ed. On his attack, my opponent uses 2 combat pumps. I tell him Lex's effect continues for the turn, even though he is KO'ed. He disagrees. What is the correct ruling here? 2) If a resource has to be replaced due to an effect (eg. Death of the Dream) and the player has no cards left in the deck, does the resource just get KO'ed or is the effect negated, since the player cannot fulfill the replacement? 3) Also on Death of the Dream; I play DotD, targeting my own resource. I boost it, exhausting an additional character to replace my opponent's resource. He plays Pathetic Attempt. I tell him he cannot, since the boost isn't a targeted effect. He says I am replacing his resource so he can play it. Again, what is the correct ruling here? Thanks in advance for the answers! |

You are correct sir. 1. Effects are independent of their source. It's like tossing a hand grenade. Once it's one the chain, it doesn't matter what happens to Lex. The effect will resolve and per the effect it lasts for the turn. 2. Resource replacement while the opponent's deck is empty = KO a resource. 3. A requirement to play PA is that one of his cards in play be targeted. Since the boosted portion does not expressly target your opponent's resource PA can not be played in this situation. Hope this helps. Edited by unclechawie, Apr 4 2009, 08:03 PM.

Right answer, wrong reasoning. The only time that Lex creates an effect is before you draw the cards. That effect resolves and you draw two cards and it creates a continuous modifier. The modifier is the part that lasts for the turn. So yeah it still doesn't matter what happens to Lex, the one plot twist per turn part is kept in check by a modifier, not an effect. |

CB is right. It's not the effect that last for the turn, but a continuous modifier. Thanks for the clarification. |
