Electromagnetic Somersault (Yellow)

When Electromagnetic Somersault resolves, you may choose up to 2 attack action cards on the active chain link with the prescribed cost. You may choose the attacking attack action card or any defending attack action cards on the active chain link. Then, when the chain link resolves (i.e. the beginning of the resolution step of the attack), Electromagnetic Somesault’s delayed triggered effect triggers and returns those chosen cards to their owner’s hand.

You may choose no attack action cards when resolving this card.

If the combat chain closes before the resolution step (e.g. the attack-source for the active chain link is destroyed) and you’ve chosen cards with Electromagnetic Somersault effect, those cards are not returned to their owner’s hand. In this situation, players will move to the close step where the combat chain will close and the chain link does not resolve.

If the attacking attack action card on the active chain link is returned during the resolution step or after, the combat chain will not close. Last known information (LKI) about the attack will be used for the purposes of other cards and effects.

The turn player ultimately chooses which player resolves their triggers first. They may choose to resolve their own triggers in the resolution step before an opponent’s Electromagnetic Somersault, or vice versa.

Any attack action cards returned this way (either attacking or defending) after the damage step has concluded will not retroactively adjust the damage dealt to any defending objects.

Base cost is the printed cost value on a card. (Usually located at the top right corner of a card.)
