Official Rulings

  • Yes to all three. Explo-rover’s ability allows it to be played as an upgrade anytime an upgrade could be played.

Can I play Explo-rover (WC 297) as an upgrade if my opponent sacrificed Lifeward (COTA 077) on a previous turn?

If I have Matter Maker (MM 349) in play, can I play Explo-rover (WC 297) as an upgrade when Star Alliance is not my active house?

If my opponent has Kaupe (DT 341) in play, and I've already played a creature, can I still play Explo-rover (WC 297) as an upgrade?

Yes to all three. Explo-rover’s ability allows it to be played as an upgrade anytime an upgrade could be played.

Commentary

Cards put into play by another card's effect (rather than being played from an out-of-play area such as the hand or discard pile) are not considered "played" cards. If an ability “puts” a card “into play,” bonus icons and “Play:” abilities on the card put into play do not resolve.
