I’m settling in Sydney and staying here for the foreseeable future!

It feels like the start of a new life, somewhat exciting and very intimidating. I am afraid, but uprooting your life and starting from scratch is never easy.

@Venrae45 @CSUnaux @AliEldrazi This is the most crucial detail here that catches people and judges off guard. A very bespoke case of not having any legal targets, yet having a finalised ability on the chain players can react to. A "you may" functional change and errata would be an option to reduce friction.

@GhaelWindss @Doowan_ CR 429.2. "Triggered and activated abilities that Add resources resolve as soon as they are finalized." - if Gray is pending before Diana, the Diana player will have the 1 Energy available to pay for Diana to be finalised.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@GhaelWindss @Doowan_ Cost within instructions for triggered abilities with "you may" are not paid to put them pending on the chain which is a common misconception. They are paid or declined during finalisation instead.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@gg_hazmatt @InsomniaTCG @JaviTajes Yes, I am, and no, the reference was not intentional.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@gg_hazmatt @InsomniaTCG @JaviTajes Hi there and thanks for quoting me in those screenshot. The rule covering that exception is CR 355.10.e. I've summarised the topic of targeting and its exceptions in my FAQ over here if you want to know more about it: https://t.co/BhVdCykt2N

@fabianoliv42057 @Doowan_ I just went ahead and updated the Akshan section on the PF page to briefly touch on Salvage, hope it makes it clearer now.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@fabianoliv42057 @Doowan_ Hey there, maintainer of Riftboundfaq here 👋 Akshan's play effect targets a gear which happens after all PF cards have been finalised. Salvage needs a target to finalise and can't target Aurora if Salvage is first in the chain, only if it's the second card after Aurora entered.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@AikadoLoR @JulezJP It is fairly likely that copies will permanently copy base might assignments since layer 1 says that copy effects pick up on those (CR 472.1.a.1 of the 1.3 rules). Hopefully we’ll get clarification with the update.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@theeviltoucher @TeamLND_RB @Dokunu77 Thanks for the feedback, I went ahead and reworded the answer as it was a bit ambiguous. Hopefully the new version is more clear.

@TrickJarrett Challenge: play him using Here to Help on your opponent’s turn 2!

@housesarebig @grentontv @davetron @AikadoLoR getting caught in the midlde of this.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@AikadoLoR @Irrelivantboy @grentontv @judgeologist I went ahead and added a new page for Kha'Zix to my FAQ, feel free to share the link in case the question continues to come up https://t.co/vQUeHjJbBN

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@AikadoLoR @Irrelivantboy @grentontv @judgeologist The difference being an explicit condition within the effect which is checked on resolution unlike a trigger condition or intervening if which are checked once before putting the effect on the chain.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@ADCourtneyy I’m building https://t.co/iOwbZ0TRRh - It is currently a bit light on content but gaining momentum.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@AikadoLoR @tranlonghoan2 @judgeologist @grentontv Arcane Shift got buffed, unfortunately Ezreal got wrecked along the way.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@UltraKamui @ChironTheMage It’s up to 8 if you ready Irelia.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@RiftboundMeta The spell requires you to choose a target unit in the trash as you finalise it before killing Rhasa. You cannot replay it that way.

[Christian Ivicevic @civicevic]

@RiftJudge_ @playriftbound The most recent version of the rules is from December. With Spiritforged we should expect an updated version with the learnings from China and most recent conversations with Riot.
