When is a structure in front of a ship
Ruling issued on November 22nd 2024
Situation:
An opponent has the Terran ship Assault Ship facing me, which has a reaction that triggers when I deploy a structure in front of it. If I already have a ship in front of the Assault Ship and deploy a structure behind that ship, does the reaction trigger?
Ruling:
Yes. The Assault Ship's reaction triggers whenever a structure is deployed in its lane, even if a ship is already occupying the space directly in front of it.
This ruling applies to the following cards.
• Assault Ship
• Dart
• Moon Eater
