A New Low

By Cain Valentine, in UFS Rules Q & A

Ive been trying to search to find rulings on this card. How excastly dose it activate and what excastly can you do after it triggers.

A New Low:

R Commit: After your opponent fails to play a card from their hand as a form, play a card as a form from your hand at +1 difficulty.

Thanks again for the help.

It triggers when your opponent goes to play a card from their hand, is short on the control check, and opts not to commit foundations to pass the control check.

You may play any card from your hand as a form at +1 difficulty, just like playing cards from your hand during your own turn - in other words, attacks, foundations, assets, and character cards, as well as action cards with F: abilities printed on them.

Okay yeah.. A New Low is rather sweet. Thanks.

So could you play a "First Form" after responding with ANL? The AGR seems to indicate that both First F and First E have the same sort of rules applied, however the FF rules aren't quite as specific (I suppose under the assumption that no one would ever play forms off turn).

Yes, you could play a First Form, as long as you have not already played any other Forms during your opponent's turn.

There's a precedent from the old TR, there was an R Mika that could play forms as reversals, including First F's

yup, that's exactly right.

Just to clarify... if you play a foundation or asset, it will move into your staging area at the end of turn after using a new low.
