Biomatrix Backup and Bad Penny #220

Open thieverycorp opened 5 years ago

thieverycorp commented 5 years ago

Backup on Bad Penny results in Penny going to discard rather than archive when opponent kills it and chooses not to send it to archive.

It should not be able to go to archive as destroyed effect applies first, then penny is out of play backup doen't apply anymore.

This is kind of covered in a new FAQ from FF. The destroyed effect applies first.

On my opponent’s turn they use their Yxilo Bolter (CoTA 204) to reap and choose to resolve its reap effect on my Bad Penny (CoTA 296). Is the Bad Penny purged or does it end up back in my hand?

The Bad Penny goes back to your hand. “Destroyed:” effects (see “Destroyed” on Page 10) happen immediately before a creature is destroyed, meaning that Bad Penny is back in its owner’s hand before the Yxilo Bolter can try to purge it with its reap effect. At that point, any pending effects waiting to resolve on Bad Penny no longer do. This is because Bad Penny is moving to an out-of-play zone in which the identity of cards is hidden from the opponent (see “Leaves Play” on Page 11)
