Rules Q&A

• Q: I use Consumed by Five Fires to try to destroy a unit led by Moto Chagatai with Fortified Cavalry attached; my opponent is left with which of the following:
  a) Chagatai and 4 force follower, created by Fortified Cavalry b) Chagatai c) nothing
  A: Just Chagatai.
  To quote MacBeth2001 when this question was discussed by the Rules Junta: 1. [Consumed by Five Fires'] action is taken; its effects will destroy all cards in the unit simultaneously. 2. Before that occurs, Fortified Cavalry's trait kicks in, negating the Personality's destruction, and creating and attaching the new Follower. 3. Now, the unit destruction occurs, except for the Personality's part of it, which was negated. But this destruction does include the new Follower, as it's now part of the unit.

• Q: a, b and c are about to be destroyed by the same effect. There are potentially Reactions to take before each is destroyed. what happens?
  possibility 1:
  A) reactions to the trigger "before a is destroyed" B) reactions to the trigger "before b is destroyed" C) reactions to the trigger "before c is destroyed" D) a, b, c are destroyed
  or possibilty 2:
  A) reactions to the trigger "before a is destroyed" B) a is destroyed C) reactions to the trigger "before b is destroyed" B) b is destroyed D) reactions to the trigger "before c is destroyed" B) c is destroyed
  A: "Possibility 1" is the proper way to resolve the scenario, insofar as A), B), and C) all occur before D). However (as also cited in your link), the active player may choose the order of A) B) and C). Brook Cunningham, "Mysterious Deaths + Personality + Fortified Cavalry", 22 Jun 2008
