Red Herrings Clarification Please

By LMTRK, in Android: Netrunner Rules Questions

Hi all :)

Lets say I have a remote server with a facedown Red Herrings and an Agenda. Runner makes a run on the server and is successful. However, I do not have any credits in my pool so I cannot afford to Rez RH. Does it's effect still happen? (or not, because it isnt active?) If it does, does it matter what order the 2 cards (RH & the Agenda) were accessed?

If I did have enough credits to Rez RH, my last chance to do so would be right before the Runner accesses cards, correct?

Any help would be appreciated. :)

No. If it's inactive, it's abilities don't trigger.

Correct

Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to check it worked how I thought it did. :)

Cheers!

Ok I have a question about red herrings that came up yesterday playing. If red herrings is rezzed with no other card there and the runner makes a successful run does he have to pay the 5 plus its trash cost or just the trash cost.

Just the trash card. Red Herrings is an upgrade so it can't benefit from an ability that applies to agendas.
