Twilight spotting
« on: July 30, 2009, 01:36:15 AM »
Pretty simple question, but I haven't played in a year or, and neither have my friends :)
(Aside from heat, I love summer)

Anyway, we were in argument about cards like Fury of the White Rider which have a cost to spot a certain amount of twilight, but at the same time, cost just as much as the amount they specify to spot.

In other words, there's  (0) out  in the pool, he plays Fury of the White Rider in maneuver, which adds [3] for the cost of the card. Does that satisfy the "Spot [3] twilight tokens..." cost?

It was multi, so my one friend (Freeps) argues that it does, and my other (fellow Shadow) argues that it doesn't, since that makes the spotting requirement redundant. Who's right? I can't believe I wrote this much for a simple question, but enjoy the story :)

Do you know HOW hard it was to get through your question with the ROFL copter going full tilt? *LOL*

Spotting is a requirement. Requirements must be met before costs can be paid. In other words, 3 twilight tokens must be spotted before Fury of the White Rider adds [3]--you can't use its own twilight cost to meet the requirement.

You have to spot the pool before you play the card. There is a complete rulling about timing involving this stuff, but i don´t have time right now to find where it is.
