Turn Sequence Rulings
Site Phase – On-Guard Cards
@ Change this:
«A revealed on-guard card retroactively takes effect as though it were both declared and resolved immediately prior to the chain of effects during which it was revealed.»
to this:
«When an on-guard card is revealed in response to a resource being played, it initiates a separate chain of effects that is treated as if it had been declared immediately prior to the chain of effects during which it was revealed. Once players finish responding to this on-guard-initiated chain of effects and the on-guard chain resolves (as well as any passive-condition-initiated chains of effects that would normally follow), the original chain of effects then resumes.»
Rulings by Term
Action
@ An action is a one-time activity that changes the board state in some way when it is performed (e.g. drawing a card or otherwise physically altering a deck’s configuration; making a check or otherwise rolling dice; moving a company; applying a modification to an entity’s attribute; a card having its position or orientation changed, or otherwise being played, discarded, tapped, healed, wounded, attached, organized, placed, removed from play, replaced, returned, revealed, shuffled, stored, used, etc.).
Agent
@ Change this:
«Only Elven agents can move to a site that is a Wizardhaven.»
to this:
«Only Elven agents can move to a site that is a Wizardhaven, but any agent can be revealed at his homesite even if it is a Wizardhaven.»
Attribute
@ An action is a characteristic of an entity (e.g. prowess, body, race, skills, direct influence, mind, corruption points, marshalling points, stage points or special abilities).
Beginning of Phase/Turn
@ Change this:
«ABP: Actions that may be taken at (or are triggered by) the beginning of a given phase or turn only.
This period begins at the start of a phase/turn and ends when all players announce that they will not declare any ABP starting a chain of effects and when all triggered ABP are resolved.
The only actions that may be declared in response to ABP are other ABP and actions that target a dice-rolling action and actions that target declared events.
Triggered ABP are declared before ABP that may be taken by players.»
to this:
«Any passive condition effects that would be initiated at the beginning of a phase/turn must be immediately declared in a single chain of effects (in an order chosen by the resource player) before any other actions may be taken during that phase. Players may then respond to this chain of effects with their own “at the beginning of [this phase/turn]” actions; once both players confirm that they have no other “at the beginning of [this phase/turn]” actions to declare, they may then respond with normal actions as allowed for the phase.»
