From the Dynasty release notes
- You may have any Draconic cards, Warrior cards, Wizard cards etc. in your deck as long as they are red.
- You may fail to find Command and Conquer even if your deck contains one or more.
- If you fail to find Command and Conquer, you fail to attack with it and the combat chain closes. You must still shuffle, even if you fail to find Command and Conquer.
- Attacking with Command and Conquer this way is not considered playing Command and Conquer. If you only activate Emporer on your turn you are not considered to have played Command and Conquer for the purposes of rules and effects. E.g. effects that apply to the next attack action card you play this turn do not apply to Command and Conquer.
- Effects that apply specifically to Royal, Draconic, Warrior, and/or Wizard activated abilities (but not attacks) apply to Emperor’s ability.
- Effects that apply specifically to Royal, Draconic, Warrior, and/or Wizard attacks do not apply to the Emperor’s ability or Command and Conquer (e.g. Uprising).
- Effects that apply to your next attack or attacks you control, apply to the Emperor’s ability and Command and Conquer (e.g. Hamstring Shot, Out for Blood, Channel Mount Heroic).
Older rulings (2)
- When you activate Emperor, it is considered an attack and requires you to specify the attack target.Changed 2026-06-06Activating Emperor puts an attack-layer on the stack, which is not itself an attack (rules 1.4.1, 1.4.4, 6 June 2026). You still declare the attack-target when the layer is put on the stack; the attack it produces takes that target (rule 1.4.4a) when the layer resolves.
- Activating Emperor opens the combat chain and begins the Layer Step of combat. Activating Emperor does not close the combat chain in the link step.Changed 2025-01-31The Link Step no longer exists (31 January 2025). Activating Emperor opens the combat chain; since 6 June 2026 it can also be activated during the Resolution Step of an existing chain link, its attack joining the queue as the next chain link (rules 7.0.1a, 7.6.3a).
