Prepare for War!

By Shindulus, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

I wanted to be sure if I can or not use prepare for War! with 0 counter on it.

Quest. Action: Sacrifice the unit on this quest to shuffle X target cards from your discard pile into your deck, where X is the number of resource tokens on this quest. Quest. Forced: At the beginning of your turn, place 1 resource token on this quest if a unit is questing here.

I'd say yes, but then there would be no benefit for you (unless you are thinking about using your units sacrifice to trigger other cards in play.)

Same question if there is less than X cards in discard.

In other words, is the unit sacrified even if there is no valid target? And how is it resolved (reshuffle as much as you can...) ?

Thanks for answers.

I don't see any reason you can't trigger it with X being 0.

You can't, however, trigger it if X is 3 and you only have 2 cards in your discard, since you don't have enough legal targets to trigger the effect.

If X is 1, you also can't use it to target the unit that you sacrificed, since targets are chosen before costs are paid (and sacrificing the unit is a cost).

Alright. So it works with X=0. Thanks
