Rulings

From the Compendium of Rathe release notes
  • Channel Galcia’s Cradle first ability triggers when it enters the arena (e.g. resolves on the stack or when it is put into the arena from another card’s effect). It also triggers at the start of your turn. This is a targeted effect: you must target an ally, aura, item, or equipment when you add the triggered effect to the stack. When the triggered effect resolves, you will freeze that target and it will remain frozen while Channel Galcia’s Cradle is in the arena.
  • Neither player receives priority during the start phase of a turn.
  • You may decide to destroy this even if you have enough Ice cards in your pitch zone. In that situation you will put your pitch zone on the bottom of your deck as usual.
  • When adding the triggered effect from Channel Galcia’s Cradle’s first ability to the stack, you can target an already frozen ally, aura, item or equipment. If you targeted one of these frozen objects, the freeze effect will not fail when the triggered effect resolves. The previous freeze effect’s will no longer apply once the effect’s duration is met. The new freeze effect on the targeted object will continue as long as Channel Galcia’s Cradle is in the arena.

Keyword notes

Freeze - A frozen object can not be played or activated.
  • Freeze is a continuous effect.
  • An object under the effect of “freeze” is considered frozen.
  • A frozen object can not be played and its activated abilities can not be activated until it is no longer frozen.
  • It is recommended that frozen objects should be physically indicated by the use of a counter or token on the object, or by orienting the object in a way that clearly communicates that it is frozen.
  • If the effect “unfreeze” applies to an object, that object is no longer frozen and the freeze effect ends.
All keywords
Channel - Channel is a new keyword that uses Element cards to maintain a powerful aura that requires a larger commitment each turn to maintain the channel.
  • Cards with the keyword ‘Fusion’ are not classified as their respective element. E.g a card with Lightning Fusion is not considered to be a Lightning card. Therefore cannot be used to pay the cost of ‘Channel’.
  • You choose the order of the cards you put on the bottom of your deck. The cards that are put to the bottom are open information to your opponent while the order of the cards are hidden information from your opponent.
