The abilities on a action card can only be used once right? or can i keep using them as long as i can pay the cost and it is in my card pool?

Also if i play a card that has a react like "Penetrating Lunge-R: After your opponent blocks 1 of your attacks, they take danmage equal to half of that attack's damage (rounded up)" before the reaction comes up can i still use its ability the the R comes up? 2 and half of that Q could i use the R if the card is already in the card pool but i play Action card before the R comes up?

Penetrating is banned btw but to answer your q.

Most Actions are only used when the ability tells you to use them with a few exceptions and they usualy have text to back them up for example

Seing you in Action is a Joke
[Chaos, Air, fire]
While this card is in your card pool you may play it's form ability any number of times per turn.
F: Discard 1 momentum, ready your character.

or a card that would have after that playable any number of times a turn also works. In penetrating lunge's case it only works once the card is played now you may proceed to play any other pen lunge's from your hand and make your opponent mad but i do not recommend it. And yes Responses have triggers that you can continue to react to as long as you can meet the conditons and pay the cost. To play an action you must pay ALL Costs whether the card succeds or not see KFT, Tag Along & Infultrating. Hope this helps

N.J.

no how it went was i played an attack then played "penetrating lung" then before block phase i played "mow the men down- discard 2 momentum: Your fire attact with printed damage 4 or more gets +8 damage" and i payed its cost but now he is blocking can i still use penetrating lunge's ability sence it is in the card pool and i havent used its ability yet?

oh and thanks i didnt know it was banned i havent checked the banned list thanks

You wouldn't play the Penetrating Lunge until its response trigger is met. In this case, you don't actually play the PL until your opponent actually plays a block.

If it's already in your card pool, say due to using it on a previous attack, it won't do anything else after resolving once, at the point when it was played.

no i played an attack then I played "penetrating lunge" then i played "mow the men down" nothing else inbetween those i just wanna know if i could still used "penetrating lunge" 's ability even tho i have another action iun the card pool

so when penetrating lunge's R comes up can i still use it even thought another card has come into the card pool i have not yet used the R

Pen lunge is after a block is played so all enhances are done you would have to play mow the men then pen lunge if they block . But in the end pen lunge is banned so i dont know how much use you will get from this combo.

ok i just want to know if i CAN use the effect of pen lunge if mow down the men is inhead of it and i havent used penlunge's ability yet

order of play:

1- you play attack

2- you E with MtMD

3- opponent chooses to block

4- the window to play PL opens, and you may play the action card now for its effect. the effect resolves.

5- continue with your turn

that's it. you don't get double use out of one card unless the card itself says you can, as was outlined above by tag. you also cannot just play an action card whenever you want to. if it has an R, you may only play it when that response comes up.

ok but if a accidently already put it in the pool at the wrong time can i still use it's effect is what i am asking. i understand the order of how i should play it, but once i accidently played it first and made the ckeck and the card was in my pool but i had more to do so i just want to know if the ability would be able to go though or if it fizzes out cause i played another action card after it. im not trying to use it more then once i just miss played the order but i still played it and it isnt like i can go back and undo playing the card

no, you cannot "Accidentaly" play it anyway. It has no way to be played until it's trigger (block being played) is met, so if it found its way into your card pool, no you cannot use Pen Lunge's effect, you have to play it at the time of it's trigger to USE its effect.

that's EXACTLY what you have to do. a card that gets missplayed goes back to your hand, and the control check stays burned in the discard pile. anything else that might have changed due to missplaying a card (like foundations committed, life lost, etc) all go back to they way they were before the missplay.

there's a reason we've been answering your question over and over the same way. if a mistake is made, you have to undo it and play the game correctly.

ok well one person said

so who do i go by cause the second persond makes in sound like i would have to another one

we both said the same thing. there is no way to use the PL effect unless it's during the time when it would trigger, which is after your attack is blocked. THAT is the only time PL can be played.

what he said was that if there was some way for PL to legally enter your card pool (as of now there isn't, only as a facedown card), there is no way to play the ability.
