The gameplay information added to each card is below.


MAY 2019


DREAD PIRATE UNICORN

APRIL 2019


UNICORNUCOPIA(Interactions)
INTERACTION: Unicorn Tax: Each time you DRAW a least 1 card, DISCARD a card.
RESULT: The drawing up to your hand limit is a single event of drawing "at least 1 card" and you have to discard a card upon completing it. You draw the cards up your hand limit then discard one card



RAINBOW MANE(Interactions)
INTERACTION: Pandamonium: All of your Unicorns are considered Pandas. Cards that affect Unicorn cards do not affect your Pandas.
RESULT: If Rainbow Mane is in your Stable prior to the Pandamonium, you can still use the card effect to bring Basic unicorn cards from your hand into your Stable.



UNICORN TAX(Interactions)
INTERACTION: Unicornucopia: DRAW cards until you reach your hand limit. Each other player may DRAW 2 cards.
RESULT: The drawing up to your hand limit is a single event of drawing "at least 1 card" and you have to discard a card upon completing it. You draw the cards up your hand limit then discard one card



INTERVENTION

  • Card is played in response to a player trying to sacrifice "one" card. It stops one Sacrificed Effect on that card. It does not stop Sacrificed effects that may occur simultaneously on other cards.


RESET BUTTON(Interactions)
INTERACTION: Intervention:Play this card when any other player tries to SACRIFICE a card. Stop that sacrifice effect and choose any player. SACRIFICE or DESTROY a card in that player's Stable.
RESULT: Reset Button triggers a Sacrificed effect for every upgrade card and for every downgrade card. Intervention stops only one Sacrificed Effect.



NECROMANCY



NIGHTMARE'S CONJURING



GREENER PASTURES

  • If Greener Pastures is sacrificed during the beginning of turn phase from any other effect other than its own, the player must still move a unicorn.


SPRING CLEANING



UNICORNS OF THE APOCALYPSE

  • An effect cannot be used to replace a Requirement to play a card, an effect can replace the Requirement once the card resolves. The contents of a players Stable must be able to meet the requirement before a card is played.


ARCHANGEL'S BLESSING

  • An effect cannot be used to replace a Requirement to play a card, however an effect can replace the Requirement once the card resolves. The contents of a players Stable must be able to meet the requirement before a card is played.


RAINBOW BRIDGE

  • The card drawn must be put into your Stable to then Draw another card. You do not get to draw a Magic or Instant card then draw another card.


CONTROLLED DESTRUCTION



TOTALLY NOT TWO UNICORNS

  • In the event that you skip multiple "next" turns, they are cumulative, not the same "next" one turn skipped.


BLACK HOLE



ARCHANGEL UNICORN

  • The Discard ability can only be triggered for mandatory or triggered effects, an effect cannot be used to replace a Requirement to play a card, an effect can replace the Requirement once the card resolves. The contents of a players Stable must be able to meet the requirement before a card is played.
  • Official Statement There must be a cost. Ideally, a player who is bringing Archangel into their Stable would have 3 Cards in their Stable to Sacrifice. If they do not have 3 to Sac, they cannot play Archangel. Alternatively, if the player is using Archangel's effect to instead DISCARD 3 cards from their hand (which we recognize as a legal play, though it wasn't quite intended), they must have at least 3 cards in their hand to discard, otherwise the cost of Archangel is not being met and it cannot enter their Stable.

This statement recognizes that there must be a cost to having an Archangel Unicorn, not that the sacrifice is a requirement to play the card.

  • The triggered draw effect is added to the Draw Phase. If the Draw Phase is skipped or the mandatory draw of the phase is not taken, you do not draw the "extra" card. (A card must be drawn to have an extra card draw.)


CHRONOCORN

  • Card can be played as the action phase "action" OR at such a time an instant card can be played; NOT anytime you like.

"Instant cards can be played any time any other player plays a card (unless otherwise stated). If an Instant card is played in response to a card you played, you may respond with an Instant card of your own (even though you already played a card this turn). Any number of Instant cards can be placed onto the instant pile during a single turn." (Rulesheet)



PATIENT ZERO UNICORN

  • The effect is triggered when a sacrifice "would" happen and the new mandatory replacement effect happens "instead". The effect still occurs even if the Patient Zero Unicorn is chosen as the sacrifice.


PAGE: MASQUERADE(Interactions)

  • the wearing of disguise. "dressing up, role playing, and masquerade"


Defined effect of Pandamonium,Catastrophe and Otter Devastation.

NIGHTMARE PACT



DRAGON SLAYER UNICORN(Interactions)

CRITICAL HIT

  • The "announcement" to Sacrificed is after the Magic Card is "announced" prior to any Instant "announcements". You do not get to wait and see if the Magic Card would or would not resolve.
  • The Magic Card is put into Hand once all effects have resolved from it, then it is played again (if able).
  • The "immediately" played card has no effects preventing it from being Neigh'd. The card can be Neigh'd

HEX

  • If possible must be moved to a player with cards in their hand.

If all players in the game have no cards in hand and thus causing an infinite unbreakable event, all players can choose to either, remove Hex from the game, move it to the discard pile or end the game without a winner. This is considered a "house" rule with the decision completely up to players in the game.
