Official Rulings

  • You will forge a key at no cost. When resolving Might Makes Right, you select all of the creatures to be sacrificed, and tag them for destruction. The rules for Leaves Play state that if cards leave play while resolving an ability, the instructions later in that ability refer to the cards as they left play. So if the total power of the sacrificed creatures was 25 or more before leaving play, you will forge a key.

My battleline consists of three cards: Lollop the Titanic (AOA 014), Knoxx (AOA 326), and Mushroom Man (COTA 362). Lollop has 11 power, Knoxx has 2 neighbors so has 9 power, and I have no keys forged, so Mushroom Man has 8 power. Can I choose Brobnar and play Might Makes Right (AOA 043) to sacrifice these three creatures with a total of 28 power to forge a key for free, or will the power levels change as I start sacrificing creatures?

Outstanding Issues

  • Arcana Advises: Yes. When you initially selected the creatures the total power was 25 or greater when they were tagged for destruction. Even though Bad Penny ends up in your hand, it still counts as successfully sacrificed and you will forge a key at no cost.
