if a card has 'after you do X, do Y and Z.'
....if you can only do Z, say in the case of ever my heart rises it is reduce threat by 1, but cannot do y- here it is readying a hero (if they are already ready) i assume you can still reduce your threat?
another example is of sam gamgee's ability- if he is ready does he still get the +1s?
hopefully that all made sense.
thanks
