Card effects


Best Answer yodaman , 23 July 2018 - 09:26 PM

Yes.  It is considered a card effect.  It's just not considered a triggered ability.

Is the text on a fate card considered a card effect?

Easier to list things that *aren't* card effects:
-Combat icons
-Things that happen because the rules say so (eg refreshing cards during the refresh phase, discarding/drawing in the draw phase, unopposed damage, balance of the force damage, dial ticks from balance phase or destroyed objectives, etc)

Also, is there a specific instance/interaction you're thinking of? There are occasionally subtleties in situations not addressed with general questions like this.

So the vader pilot card says while enhanced unit is participating in an engagement an opponent cannot initiate card effects so fate cards would be included in that right?

That's correct.  The force icons still count, but the actually effects of the fate cards won't resolve if pilot Vader is in the engagement.
