Official Rulings

  • Yes. The active player chooses the order of “Destroyed:” effects. If the creatures are being destroyed on your turn, you can send the Æmber from your destroyed creatures to the common supply, but if the creature are being destroyed on your opponent’s turn, they could choose the opposite order so that they get the Æmber from those destroyed creatures instead.

I have Optio Gorkus (MM 226) in play upgraded with Imperial Scutum. Then I play a card that destroys all creatures. Can I use the “Destroyed:” effect on Optio Gorkus’s neighbors to move all Æmber on them to Optio Gorkus before I use the “Destroyed:” effect granted by Imperial Scutum to return all that Æmber to the common supply, keeping the æmber out of my opponent’s hands?
