If it does turn out invalid I'll be sad we couldn't arrange to do some of our commodity swap on my hand so I could build more. Didn't realize at the time you were still sitting with 1 commodity unconverted. But too many people have gone since, probably.

Yeah, and I'm not going to help you build ships this round that will come visit me next round once you research light/wave deflector....

Gnaw - are we good for a 4/4 swap, or should I be harassing other people?

Yeah, I can swap yours out regardless of whether I use commodities or tgs.

What would you have built that could make it to IH's homeworld this round?

I have flank speed, but that hardly matters now.

Thanks everyone, direct hit and flank speed in morgoths hands, was what I was most worried about.

I’d been saving them for quite some time for just such an occasion.

After much searching:

Rule 1.7 from the Living Rules updated version 1.2:

If an ability has multiple effects separated by the word “and,” a player must resolve as many of the ability’s effects as possible. However, if he cannot resolve all of its effects, he is allowed to resolve as many as he can.

So yes, I think Reparations can still be used, but if Tatts has even one unexhausted planet, then that has to be the target. But as all his planets were already exhausted (I believe?) then the way D’rek used the card is permissible.

Ah, I see. If the effect text is "A and B" and one of A or B are impossible, you can still do the other. But if the text is "A then B" you must be able to do A or else you can't do B.

Does Tapper not know that the Arborec are carnivorous?
