Rulings applying to this card
Rulings are official clarifications on the way ambiguous rules or card texts should be interpreted.
Choosing to ignore a reaction
Ruling issued on November 22nd 2024
Situation:
I deploy the Pirate ship Mecha Suit, which has a reaction that causes a durability loss to another ship when it is deployed. My opponents currently have no ships in play. Am I forced to cause a durability loss to one of my own ships?
Ruling:
No. Since this effect is a reaction, you can choose whether or not to activate it.
Overriding my own reactions
Ruling issued on November 22nd 2024
Situation:
My Organic ship Moon Eater gets destroyed. It has a reaction that destroys the enemy structure in front of it when it's destroyed. I also have the Organic structure Flesh Mender, which has a reaction that restores durability to my base when one of my ships is destroyed. Do both reactions trigger?
Ruling:
No. When a reaction triggers in response to an event, it creates a chain reaction. After the first reaction triggers, no further reactions can occur directly from that event, only in response to that reaction. Therefore, only one of the reactions will trigger. As the owner of both, you can choose which one activates (the Moon Eater or the Flesh Mender).
Recovering from negative base durability through a card's effect
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024
Situation:
My base has 1 durability remaining. I control the Organic structure Flesh Mender, which restores durability to my base whenever one of my ships is destroyed. My opponent attacks with a Missile Cruiser, which has the Bombard keyword, reducing my base's durability when it attacks a ship with no structure behind it. The Missile Cruiser destroys one of my ships and bombards my base simultaneously. Do I lose the game, or does my Flesh Mender save me?
Ruling:
In Future Invaders, effects are resolved one at a time, in the order they are triggered, rather than using "state-based" logic. The Missile Cruiser's bombardment reduces your base's durability below 0, destroying it. The Flesh Mender's effect would trigger afterward, but too late to save your base. You lose the game.
