Rules Q&A

• Q: [Imperial]
  Can I play Darkness Feeds and then Feign Death on the same Personality that just died?
  Is that just the same logic as playing multiple Martyr's on a Personality's death
  A: Yes, you can.
  (Replying to a player: "The order doesn't matter right?") Very technically, Darkness Feeds says "when" and Feign says "after", so it would be DF then FD. But it was Imperial, which was a bit more loosey-goosey, so eh. 😛
  (Replying to a player: "Does it change anything that in the Oracle, Darkness Feeds also says "after"") That just means I personally don't like "when" triggers because they generally cause timing confusion, especially when it comes to negating an effect; "before" and "after" a trigger are much clearer, sequentially speaking. So I changed it myself. 😛 I was trying to give you a contemporary answer since you didn't tag it Open/Legacy.
  In either case, I don't think it matters much? Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 25 Sep 2026
