Outbid
Beta release
React to an action or reaction
Pay the price your opponent paid for the action or reaction, except you may use to pay for any other resource
If you can afford to pay its price, the action or reaction fails, then you deny your opponent (look at the card on top of your opponent's arsenal, you may put it on the bottom of their arsenal)

Additional costs as part of a failed action
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024
Situation:
I have a Trading Station in play, which has an action allowing me to place a card at the bottom of my arsenal in exchange for a resource. I activate this action, but an opponent uses a reaction, causing its action to fail. Do I still need to place the card at the bottom of my arsenal?
Ruling:
No. If the action fails, none of its effects occur. You keep the card in your hand.
Touching an opponent's cards without their consent
Ruling issued on November 17th 2024
Situation:
A player uses an action with the Deny keyword, allowing them to look at the top card of an opponent's arsenal and decide whether to place it back on top or move it to the bottom. The player reaches for the opponent's arsenal, but the opponent dislikes others touching their cards. Are they required to let the player handle their cards?
Ruling:
No, the opponent is not required to let the player touch their cards. The player must respect their opponent’s preference and avoid handling the arsenal. Instead, the opponent must assist in resolving the action by showing the player the top card of their arsenal (without looking at it themselves), asking whether it should go on top or bottom, and placing it in the chosen position (still without looking). Consent matters!
