Destroying a structure which cannot lose durability
Ruling issued on November 22nd 2024
Situation:
I have a Reinforced Cruiser in play, a Pirate ship which prevents the structure located behind it from losing any durability. An opponent uses the Terran action Missile Strike to destroy the structure behind my Reinforced Cruiser. Is it destroyed?
Ruling:
Yes. Instant destruction effects are not durability losses. The Missile Strike destroys the structure despite the Reinforced Cruiser's ability.
This ruling applies to the following cards.
• Black Hole
• Reinforced Cruiser
