Rulebook 1.6.1
7. Cancelling cards and effects.There are two major types of Cancel: "Cancel a card" and "Cancel an effect". When a card is played, other players may play cards which cancel that card. (As indicated in 1.6.1.1). When effects are declared, they may also be cancelled by other cards.
When a card or effect would cancel a card, the cancelled card is considered to have no card text but was still played and still retains its name, type and cost. The cost is paid for a cancelled card unless there is explicit text which contradicts this rule.
When a card or effect would cancel another effect, the cancelled effect is considered to not resolve; it has no effect. This means that the card or effect was played successfully. If a bleed action has its effects cancelled, then it is not a successful bleed action but since it was played successfully it will be successful action if the action is not blocked.
Is this a a new interpretation of the rules from your point of view?
ReplyDeleteI distinctly remember a ruling that states that an action that is cancelled is niether successful nor unsuccessful, just cancelled.
You're misreading the "Cancel an effect" part. There is "Cancel a card" (e.g. DI) but there are cards that "Cancel the effect" of another card.
ReplyDeleteOh I should edit it to add in vote canceling.
