Continuous Modifier

513.2c Continuous modifiers from an effect attempting to modify qualities of objects don't affect objects that weren't affected when the continuous modifier was created.

Example: Combat Protocols reads "Choose a team affiliation. Army Sentinel characters you control get +2 ATK while attacking characters of the chosen team affiliation this turn." Combat Protocols's controller plays this card during his resource step. During that player's recruit step, he recruits Sentinel Mark I, Army. Combat Protocols will not apply to Sentinel Mark I because this modifier modifies ATK, a quality of some objects.


What is this trying to say?


Example: Golden Death reads, "Target attacker you control gets +2 ATK this attack. If that attacker has the Emerald Enemies affiliation, exhausted defenders lose reinforcement and cannot gain reinforcement this attack." This affects ATK and reinforcement, which are both qualities. If the defender is not exhausted as the modifier resolves, it will not be affected. If it later becomes exhausted this attack, it will not lose reinforcement, because it was not affected when the continuous modifier was created. If another character becomes the defender later this attack, it won't be affected, even if it is or becomes exhausted.

Does this mean that if the defender is somehow changed (like using Superman-Clark Kent's effect), the effect on lose reinforcement would be gone?


513.4d Some delayed triggered modifiers are targeted. The target for such a modifier is chosen when the plot twist or power that's going to create the modifier is first played. The delayed triggered modifier will later use that same target upon triggering. If the target has become illegal by that time, or changed zones, the delayed triggered modifier will get removed from the chain as it tries to go through 505.1c, before it finishes being announced.

Example: Brimstone reads, "Pay 1 resource point >>> At the start of the combat phase, KO target resource." When this power is played, the target for the effect is chosen. The resolution of the effect creates a delayed triggered modifier with the same target. If that target is no longer legal when the modifier triggers, the delayed triggered modifier is removed from the chain as it tries to go through 505.1c, before it is finished being announced.

Does this mean that if he chose Genosha, I can KO it for card draw. If so, then the effect of Brimstone will be negated?


On priority, priority is said to be passed earliest during the draw phase. The effect resolves during the draw 2 cards or after the drawing of 2 cards?

Combat Protocols will only affect objects in play at the time the modifier is created. Since CP was played in the resource step, so only the Army Sentinal characters you controlled at the time the modifier was created will be affected by the modifier. Army Sentinal characters that came into play after the modifier was created will not be affected.

Brimstone's effect will be removed from the chain since Genosha (the target) is no longer legal.

Draw 2 cards is the first. Before this resolves, the turn player has priority to add to the chain. When they pass, then the clockwise non-turn player has priority. Once everyone has passed, then everything resolves, ending with the drawing of 2 cards.

You mean it's effect is directly off the chain? Not negated?
