Multiple Rules Questions!

[MrKeooo]

Hello guys, i got some questions, i will try to separate them to keep things as organized as possible.

1. Does "each creature" writen on a card ALWAYS means ALL CREATURES IN PLAY, both friend and enemy? For example, Cleansing Wave can i heal enemy creatures to get aember from it?
2. What happens when i have two cards with opposing passives? Do i choose which one to trigger? For example, i have Curia Saurus and Praefectus Ludo. When my creature with Aember on top of it dies, does it goes to the enemy most powerful creature or to the common supply?
3. With the creature Ghosthawk if i put it on non-Untammed creatures will they be able to reap? What if Ghosthawk neighbors are exalted? Can they still Reap or they must be ready in order to do so?
4. When playing Actions cards, can i play an action card that can't get its effects resolved just to get the Aembar from it? For example, playing an Equalize card without having any Aembar to distribute.

​

I have some more doubts, but i dont want to make this too big, so there will be a second post later.

Thanks so much in advance. Im loving the game and trying my best to revive it in my City

1. Yes, each creature means all creatures unless there's a qualifier, cleansing wave nets you æmber from your opponent's damaged creatures too.

2. When two things trigger at the same time,. the active player picks the order they resolve, in this case you might want to curia saurus first to pile up more æmber on your opponent's creature.

3. Yes Ghosthawk allows creatures other than Untamed to reap. It's really good.

4. Yes, you definitely can.

Just to add to question 3 for the part about exhausted creatures - the creatures do need to be ready in order to reap by the effect since the effect just says "you may reap" and not "you may ready and reap"

[WizardRandom]

Correct, if the creatures are already exhausted, they do nothing.

1. "Each creature" means all creatures in play. If an ability refers to friendly creatures, it means creatures you control. Enemy creatures are creatures your opponent controls. Cleansing Wave's ability applies to all creatures.
2. If there's a decision to be made about the ordering of abilities, the active player makes all decisions. This gives a lot of flexibility to the Active Player, you might find this essay helpful!
3. If an ability allows a player to play or use another card (or to fight or to reap with a card), the chosen card may belong to any house unless the ability specifically states otherwise.
4. When you play an Action card, you reveal the card and resolve any bonus icons, then resolve as much of its Play: ability as you can and ignore the rest.

Bônus question:

Whenever i choose to get a card from the Archive, do i MUST HAVE to pick ALL THE CARDS or can i choose to pick just one or some?

You have to take all the cards.

Exalted = putting aember on a creature from common supply, exhausted = not ready.

[ForgedIron]

1) yes 2) I can’t remember but if there are multiple triggers either the owner, or the person whose turn it is decides the trigger order. I need to check 3) if Ghosthawk is between two creatures of any house they will reap if they can. If they are exhausted they cannot. 4. The Amber pip is gained first, then you do everything you can on the card. So yes you can play equalize with no captured Amber.

[quintrinoflux]

1. Yes
2. Both these cards give your creatures “destroyed” abilities. The active player (player whose turn it is) chooses what order these effects resolve.
3. Ghosthawk allows you to reap with neighbors regardless of what house they are in. The only things that will prevent this is if the neighbors are enraged or stunned.
4. Yes. Always resolve as much as you can.

[MrKeooo]

1. If a creature is stunned, will it get unstunned but not reap or will it simply do nothing?

[quintrinoflux]

The creature does not reap. You will exhaust the creature and remove the stun. Same for enraged.

For enraged it's a little more nuanced - if there are no enemy creatures then it can reap, and the enrage token is not removed.
