Just had a question on Brother Maxos's ability. I've been playing this card as always having its effect as usable, even when exhausted since it doesn't state to exhaust him to use the effect. However, I played a game the other day and had an opponent state that I couldn't use that ability while he was exhausted, that I'd have to wait until after he refreshed. Is that correct? Thanks for any clarification.

Text: " Combat Action: Pay the printed cost of a [sPACE MARINE] unit in your hand to put it into play at this planet."

Since there is nothing in the text using ready/exhausted status as a play restriction or a cost, and there is no general rule saying that card text is not actionable when the card is exhausted, you may use the Combat Action on Maxos even when he is exhausted.

Thanks, that what I thought.
