Ready for Anything

By tuggs, in UFS Rules Q & A

Clarification on the speed/damage pump on Ready for Anything:

"E: Your attack gets +1 speed and +3 damage. Only playable if this attack is preceded by a non-attack card in your card pool."

Since it doesn't state, " immediately preceded" does this mean that a person could use Taking the Bait's form, and then go to town with Moon Sault Slayer?

Thanks, again.

As far as I can tell your theory is correct. Any successfully played attack in your card pool may be pointed to and have said of it: "Look, there's Taking the Bait over there, so this attack is clearly preceded by a non-attack. I'm going to play RFA now without fear of contradiction." Good day to you, sir. gui%C3%B1o.gif

Incorrect. each attack that you wish to enhance with RFA needs to have a non-attack preceeding it. not somewhere in the card pool before it. preceeding it. this is the way it's always been ruled to work.

Well if Gou had let me finish (pause for laugh), I would have told you that my explanation WOULD be correct if the card designer had actually made an effort to distinguish between 'preceding' and 'immediately preceding'. Instead of rolling with the card as printed, we get to sample another "play it as it was intended" card. On the other hand they've now become cumbersome enough to excise them from the even the concept of any deck I will build in the future.

What you're meaning to say is, make a card pool like this?

Taking the Bait -> Moon Sault Slayer -> First Multiple Copy -> Second Multiple Copy

If so, only the original copy of Moon Sault Slayer will be able to use Ready For Anything's E, as Taking the Bait is preceding it.
The first multiple copy is preceded by the original copy, which is obviously an attack, therefore unable to use Ready For Anything.
The second copy is preceded by the first copy, which (IIRC) is considered an attack, even though it is face down.

This "preceding thing" is always generating discutions. But i think the designers always thought of immediately preceding whether or not specifying it.
