Can Heat of Battle affect this card before it has already been damaged?

That's a card effect, is it not? I'd think not.

Heat of Battle is a card effect and it does target, so the Executor is immune while undamaged.

The same goes for targeted strike then I suppose?

Nope, check the official responses thread.

To summarize the official response: Targeted Strike is a card effect, but what it affects is the card with Targeted Strike.

Could Narrow Escape be used on Executor's reaction ability though?

Ex: A card is sacrificed
DS player Reacts with Executor's ability to deal 1 damage to a unit or objective
LS player uses Narrow Escape to redirect the 1 damage to a DS objective

That works. Narrow Escape doesn't target anything itself, though as the new target is chosen as if you controlled the effect it would still keep you from sending the ping back to the Executor itself sadly.

If you play aggression and both you and your opponent sacrifice two units, does Executor's reaction trigger twice, once for each unit?

OR, are both cards considered sacrificed at the same time, thus only proc'ing the ability once?

It would trigger twice. Each unit sacrificed individually triggers the Executor, though I'm not sure which order the sacrifices have to be made or if the Executor goes off in between the two sacrifices or twice after both of them... I will seek official clarification on that.

That's the way our meta has been playing it.

The way we've been interpreting it is that Executor's reaction goes off twice since the card reads "after A card is sacrificed.." and not "after at LEAST ONE CARD has been sacrificed...."

The problem is that it still matters whether or not the sacrifices are simultaneous or one-at-a-time. Imagine Luke (with 2 damage) and Obi-Wan across the board. You play aggression, sac something (use executor to kill luke), then Obi-Wan has to be sacrificed. Versus you sac something and opponent sacs Luke simultaneously, Executor can do 2 damage but not enough to kill Obi-Wan. I've sent in a rules question on this, hopefully I'll hear back soon.

Yeah. I have a feeling that because Aggression isn't worded, "Sacrifice a unit, then, your opponent must sacrifice a unit, if able" that both units are sac'd at the same time, triggering Executor only once. I'm hoping that this isn't the ruling, because hey, who doesn't love dishing out massive targeted damage? BUT, I'm sure that is what the ruling will be; both cards are sac'd at the same time, only triggering the reaction once.

FAQ (2.2) Priority of Simultaneous Resolution
If a single effect affects multiple players simultaneously, but the players must individually make choices to resolve the effect, the player who played or executed the effect chooses first, with priority then proceeding clockwise around the table.

Forgot that one, good catch.

EDIT: Official response is that both sacrifices happen simultaneously, but the Executor does get to respond to each sacrifice.

Unless it is the Executor that is being sac'd. :-)

This is such an aggressive card! I love the direct damage ability. It fits very well with what the card does. Great design FFG!

Curious how does this work with X-Wing Escort since your opponent is picking the card that is destroyed can that effect the executor if only vehicle opponent can pick. Just wondering because there is weird rulings in game of thrones that this would work.

The X-win Escort targets nothing. Therefore the Executor would have to be sacrificed to it's ability, undamaged or not, if it were the only option.

Executor is a REACTION, not an interrupt, so the X-Wing escort interrupt would trigger before Executor's reaction. If executor was the only vehicle, they would need to sacrifice it and not trigger it's reaction because it's not there anymore to trigger it.

This in a 2v2 coupled with two Aggressions and two Aggressive Assaults from your partner is just unpleasant. 4HP chipped off of 4 LS Objectives and 2 off of the remaining 2. Really nasty.

Does "My ally is the force" destroy the Executor if not committed to the force, but not damaged?

Yes, my ally is the force does not target anything.

Same applies to Desperation.
