Rulings

From the Mastery Pack: Guardian + Smash Palace release notes · August 8, 2025
  • Renounce Grandeur’s first ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking as long as it is face-up in the arena and not defending. If the defending hero does not control an aura token when you attack with this, then they control one, this will get +1power.
  • Renounce Grandeur’s first ability is not functional while defending.
  • If the defending hero gains control of an aura token during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to become active, it will get the +1power from the defending hero controlling an aura token but the damage will not be recalculated.
  • If the defending hero no longer controls an aura token during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to no longer be active (e.g. applying Spectral Shield’s ward prevention effect), it will lose the +1power but the damage will not be recalculated.
  • Renounce Grandeur’s Crush ability triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a hero. When the triggered effect resolves, it generates a continuous effect that is active during that hero’s next turn. During their next turn, that hero can’t create aura tokens.
