Cut a Long Story Short (Yellow)

Cut a Long Story Short’s first ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking. If Cut a Long Story Short has less than or equal to its base and then later it has greater than its base, this will get +1.

If Cut a Long Story Short’s effect is not self-sustaining. If it has power greater than its base from an effect (e.g. +3), then another effect reduces its power by the same amount (e.g. -3), then Cut a Long Story Short will lose the +1 from its own effect.

Cut a Long Story Short’s abilities are not functional while defending.

If Cut a Long Story Short’s is less than or equal to its base , then later it has greater than its base during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to become active, Cut a Long Story Short gets the +1, but the damage will not be recalculated.

Cut a Long Story Short’s second ability is a Tower ability that generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking. If Cut a Long Story Short has less than 13 and then later it has 13 or more, this will get the “when this hits a hero” triggered ability.

The “when this hits a hero” triggered ability gained from Cut a Long Story Short’s ability triggers when it hits a hero. When this triggered effect resolves, that hero discards all cards in their hand.

If the condition for Cut a Long Story Short’s Tower ability is not met, then its becomes 13 or more after you hit, Cut a Long Story Short will still get the “when this hits a hero” triggered ability; however, it will not retroactively trigger as the ability was not active at the moment Cut a Long Story Short hit the hero.
