Changing the target of an action which changes the game's rules
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024

Situation:
A player uses the Invader action Scrap Payloads, which alters the behavior of their scrap pile until the end of the turn, causing durability losses when cards are scrapped. They scrap several cards, targeting an opponent's structure. The targeted opponent holds the Invader reaction Swap Places. Can they use it to redirect these durability losses to another structure?

Ruling:
No, they cannot. Scrap Payloads modifies game rules temporarily and does not have a specific target, so Swap Places cannot redirect it. Recycling cards is not an action, therefore it cannot be targeted by Swap Places either. Thus, the structure cannot be saved using this reaction.
