Rules Q&A
- Q: And now the rules question: This came up at a local tournament last Saturday. When can you play "The Power of Nothing"? The relevant text reads "You may only take this action if you are the Attacker or Defender and have no units in this battle." The last sentence is extremely ambiguous. Is it to be read as "You may only take this action if you are the Attacker and have no units in this battle, or if you are the Defender and have no units in this battle"? Or is it "You may only take this action if you are the Attacker, or if you are the Defender and have no units in this battle"?
A: The first one. Jeff Alexander, "post for 30 July 2002", 31 Jul 2002
