And Again... (Blue)

When And Again… is played, it must target a sword that has been sharpened and you have attacked with this turn. You will declare an attack target for it at this time.

When And Again… is played, it generates a card-layer with an attack effect. This is called an attack-layer. In order to put this layer onto the stack, you must declare the attack-target for the attack that will be generated when this layer resolves on the stack.

If there is an effect that requires you to target the object for the attack if able (e.g. Chum, Arc Light Sentinel) in the arena when deciding attack targets for And Again… you must target those objects.

And Again… is a Warrior Action and an attack-layer when it is played. It is not an attack and will not benefit from effects that apply to warrior or sword attacks.

When And Again… resolves, you will put an attack-proxy with the targeted sword into the queue. Effects that apply to your next attack will apply as the attack-proxy is created. You need an action point to play And Again… but you do not need an additional action point for the sword attack that resolves.

The attack generated by And Again… does not count towards any activation limits that the target sword may have. For example, if a Dawnblade’s activation limit were increased because of Twinning Blade, a Dawnblade attack generated from And Again… would not contribute towards fulfilling that limit.

If And Again… gains go again, you will receive an action point when And Again… resolves. This action point will not be used on the attack-proxy created from And Again… resolving.

If And Again… gains go again, the attack-proxy it creates upon resolution will not inherit go again from it.

The attack-proxy created by And Again… can gain go again independent from the attack-layer that produced it.

A sword that attacks via And Again… will make the attack with the base properties of the sword. Effects that are part of any activated ability will not be active for this attack (e.g. Golden Grail.) Effects that are base abilities of the sword will be active for this attack (e.g. Durendal.)

As a card with an attack effect, And Again… will open the combat chain if it is closed.

As an action with an attack effect, And Again… can be played in the resolution step of combat, without closing the combat chain. If And Again… is played in this way, the chain link will continue in the layer step of combat.

If And Again… is played as if it were an instant during an active chain-link, the resulting attack will be added to the queue. The queue is a new sub-area of the stack where attacks that are generated during an active attack go to and “wait” until it can be moved onto the combat chain as the next attack.

And Again… is not an attack action card, and cannot be played under circumstances that prohibit the play of non-attack action cards. For example, And Again… can not be played under the ‘War’ option of Warmonger’s Diplomacy.
