So I was playing a game with my brother, he had a differing interpretation of two cards than I. First is Master of the Council... I rolled a special, paid two resources, resolved the die and exhausted the support. I was under the impression that when I rerolled in my character I can roll in the die for Master of the Council, but he declared that because the upgrade has been exhausted, I don't get to roll in the Master of the Council die. So who was right, my brother or me?

Second clarification, and I am 99% sure I know the answer, but he may want to see this in writing... but Force Illusion does NOT block unblockable damage; so whether you use Vibro Knife or a card effect like Synchronicity, unblockable stuff gets past it right? I ruled in that it does not block Synchronicity, he says it does because the card just says "before you take damage."

Thanks for your time!

You are correct in both cases

Exhausting the upgrade does nothing to the dice just stops it being used multiple times in a round

Force illusion has the word block in the text, therefore unblockable damage can not be prevented by force illusion

Awesome, I thought so; thanks for the clarification!

Sorry if this has been addressed... but lets talk Sabine / Infamous.

Sabine says "Before you activate this character, you may play a weapon from your discard pile on her decreasing it's cost by 1 if it has the world thermal in it."

Infamous: "Before you play a yellow card, you may exhaust this support to give it the ambush keyword."

So since I am using her ability to play a yellow card, if I say bring in Thermal Detonator, could I use Infamous to give it ambush since both Sabine and Infamous use the word "play?"

Also, since I'm on about Infamous, if you're playing Han, essentially every time you use Infamous with him he gains a shield?

Thanks!

You’re correct on both accounts. Infamous is an awesome card.

Yes, it seems like it just gets better with time! Well, until December 2018

Yep! Although, given the majority of people’s responses to rotation, I have a feeling that Infinite will be the most popular format.

I think we will see on that regard. Infinite will definitely still be popular BUT we still have 2 more Booster Expansions to go before Standard even really kicks in, Infinite may start to become less popular when we are half way through the 3rd Cycle.
