Rulings

From the High Seas release notes · June 6 2025
  • Golden Skywarden triggers when it becomes a defending card on the combat chain.
  • Galvanize has an optional effect. You choose whether or not to destroy an item at the time the triggered effect resolves. If an item you control is destroyed, Golden Skywarden gets +1defense. If the item you destroyed this way was a Golden Cog, you will create a Gold token and repeat the process.
  • There’s no priority between choosing to destroy an item you control, Golden Skywarden getting +1defense and creating a gold token (if the item you destroyed was a Golden Cog).
  • You cannot do the optional effect if you are unable to destroy an item you control.
  • Each time you repeat the process, you may choose not to destroy an item you control.
  • If an effect prevents the attack from gaining defense or if you are unable to create a Gold token (e.g. Ripple Away), you still repeat the process and may continue to destroy items you control.
  • You can destroy a Gold token created by Golden Skywarden’s effect when repeating the process. E.g. destroy a Golden Cog and create a Gold token, then destroy the Gold token created.
