Tomax Bren and Adaptability

By Ken at Sunrise, in X-Wing

I don't know if anyone else noticed this but Tomax Bren's ability states: "Once per round, after you discard an EPT Upgrade card, flip that card face up." On other cards it always states to not discard.

Many have theorized that Adaptability is the first card with two sides.

If so maybe this wording on Tomax Bren isn't an accident.

Thoughts?

how do you discard Adaptability?

there's nothing that lets you, ala crackshot

Perhaps not but the flipping instead of discarding maybe something new?

Just found that interesting.

The rules reference specifies that when you are instructed to discard a card, you flip it face down.

Of course, with adaptability, if an external agent forces you to discard your EPT things get... Interesting.

Interesting

Have they changed the definition of the word 'interesting'....?

Yep. If you want to "undiscard" a card, the mechanism for that is flipping it face-up. And this way, instead of changing anything about the way the EPT works, Bren merely "undiscards" it afterward. The interaction is cleaner.

Isn't it still: Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die?

At first I didn't get this reference but when I did... I smiled :)
