Nightkin Ambusher Rulings
5 most recent
- Mar 8, 2024 Any effects (such as proliferate) that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with rad counters.
- Mar 8, 2024 If a player has fewer cards remaining in their library than the number of rad counters they have when the triggered ability resolves, they'll mill as many cards as they can.
- Mar 8, 2024 In a game using the shared team turns option, such as an Archenemy or Two-Headed Giant game, the inherent triggered ability associated with rad counters triggers once for each player on the active team that has rad counters. Each instance of that ability is controlled by one of those players.
- Mar 8, 2024 Keep track of how many rad counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing them down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine.
- Mar 8, 2024 Once Nightkin Ambusher has been blocked, giving the defending player a rad counter won't cause Nightkin Ambusher to become unblocked.
