DREAD PIRATE UNICORN

UNICORNUCOPIA

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


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
