Hi,
In this game [0.5.9.188]-bishop-baron_zemo-expert-(36)-(1604990749).json, when I defeated SHIELD Trooper (https://marvelcdb.com/card/50178) a non-SHIELD support was discarded. I think only a SHIELD ally or a SHIELD support should be discarded. This happens around step 36 in the savefile.
Thanks in advance!
Hi @quantumodo,
Thank you for reporting the issue with the card “50178” (S.H.I.E.L.D. Trooper). However, we believe this isn’t a bug.
The card specifies:
The engaged player discards 1 [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] ally or support they control.
If it functioned as you’re suggesting, it should read:
The engaged player discards 1 [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] ally or 1 [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] support they control.
Additionally, the programming logic may imply that “And” usually has a higher precedence than “or”. But we’re not entirely confident in this interpretation. If you find any FAQs or official clarifications on this matter, please share them with us.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have checked this with a Marvel Champion tester for FFG (that, specifically, was a tester for the SHIELD expansion) and he has confirmed that SHIELD applies to both the ally and the support. In fact, the official Spanish translation is like this: "Cuando se derrote esta carta: el jugador enfrentado descarta 1 Aliado o Apoyo S.H.I.E.L.D. que controle." Here, you can see that "SHIELD" is AFTER "Apoyo" (Support) so, if this trait were to be applied only to one of the two types of cards, we would have an inconsistency between the Spanish card and the English one (in Spanish, only the Support should be SHIELD; in English, only the ally).
Thanks in advance!
As an additional example, consider Organizational Suport (https://marvelcdb.com/card/50014). The wording is "exhaust up to 3 allies and/or supports you control that share a Trait with your identity". Can you exhaust allies that you do not control or that do not share a trait with your identity? I do not think that is the intention of the card.
Thanks once again!
