Title: Ruling on playing Reach of Desperation on LYdia
Post by: g93 on December 30, 2013, 10:13:41 PM

LYdia rescues and blocked by Nero.  If Lydia plays Reach does it interrupt her ability to play purple enhances?  Opponent tried to play Reach and then AoCP.  IN game now. THanks!

If you use Reach to Interrupt the Battle (to interrupt Nero's ongoing immunity), then yes.  Cards that say "May do X, do Y, and do Z" or similar (like "You may interrupt the battle, draw three cards, and play the next enhancement") means "You may do X.  Then you may do Y.  Then you may do Z."  So you have a choice at each step.

However, if you choose to ITB, then you interrupt ALL ongoing abilities, including Lydia's play-other-enhancements ability.  She cannot then play Purple off of Reach's play ability.  Reach stays played, but you'd have to use White in that case.
