Rules Q&A
- Q: (OBH) Hey
I would need a confirmation about the Destined Keyword and the Reaction that allow to attach an ancestor when a personality enters play:
Destined: After your card with the Destined keyword enters play, draw a Fate card
Ancestral Guidance - Repeatable Reaction, [ Gold Coin]: After one of your Personalities enters play, following all restrictions, attach a target Ancestor from your hand to him paying all costs.
I think I can resolve the Destined Keyword to draw a card and then I can use the Ancestral Guidance reaction to put the card I've just drawn if it is ancestor which can be attached to the personality.
Am I right? Thanks in advance
A: Yes. Triggered traits occur before Reactions, if they have the same trigger. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 9 Jun 2026
