A ruling is an official clarification on the way an ambiguous rule or card text should be interpreted.
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).
This ruling applies to the following cards.
• Flesh Mender
• Flesh Render
