A ruling is an official clarification on the way an ambiguous rule or card text should be interpreted.
One card with two effects triggering two different reactions
Ruling issued on November 18th 2024
Situation:
A player uses the Organic action Wild Charge, which requires them to destroy one of their own ships to harm an enemy ship. They choose their own Mind, which has a reaction when destroyed, and destroy an opponent's Rustwing, which also has a reaction when destroyed. In what order do the two reactions resolve?
Ruling:
The text on cards is resolved in the order it is written. First, the Mind is destroyed, and its reaction must be resolved. Then, the Rustwing is destroyed, and its reaction must be resolved.
This ruling applies to the following cards.
• Artillery Barrage
• Digest
• Gauss Shot
• Reality Warp
• Targeted Charge
• Wild Charge
