When two Units destroy each other in an attack (both have Last Word), can the active player choose to resolve the Last Word that returns a Unit to the battlefield before the other?
Official Answer
I don't know based on the rulebook. The provided context explains that when a Unit with the Last Word
attribute is destroyed, its ability is resolved at the moment of destruction (page 21). However, it does not specify the order in which simultaneous Last Word
abilities are resolved when two Units destroy each other in combat. There is no rule in the provided context about priority or sequencing of simultaneous destruction effects.
To answer this question, the rulebook would need to specify:
- How to handle simultaneous destruction and
Last Word
triggers. - Whether the active player chooses the order, or if there is a default order.
