- Q: Regarding viewtopic.php?f=59&t=86895
While I'm almost certain that it has no barring on the ruling, I'd like to point out Thorough Preparations does not have a reaction. It is a trait.
A: The rule that Alex mentioned refers to triggers, not Reactions, so no difference in the answer I can think of. Zen Faulkes, "Thorough Preparations and Outsider Keep", 16 Oct 2010 - Q: Thorough Preparations 0GC Reaction: After this card enters a discard pile from your hand during a battle: Draw a card. 4FV
Outsider Keep Unicorn Clan Stronghold 7/5/4 Reaction: After engaging at a battlefield where you control an opposed unit: Give each of your Personalities there +1F. Draw a card. Discard a card unless one of your Personalities there is a Tactician.
If I discard Thorough Preparations using Outsider Keep's ability, do I get to draw a card from its reaction?
A: You may use Thorough Preparations' Reaction.
Battles, Combat Segment: Engaging is the time point at which the battle, and the Combat Segment, both begin. Specifically, things that are triggered “before engaging” do not occur in or during the battle, and things that are triggered “after engaging” do occur in and during the battle.
