Ripple Away (Blue)

Instant - Discard this: If an action card effect would create 1 or more tokens this turn, instead it creates that many minus 1 of each of those tokens.

Rulings

From the Heavy Hitters release notes
  • This has an ability that can only be activated from your hand. To activate this, show Ripple Away to all players, then pay the cost of discarding it.
  • After Ripple Away’s ability resolves, it applies to all action card effects that would create 1 or more tokens this turn.
  • If an action card effect creates two or more different tokens, instead it will create one less of each of those tokens. E.g. If an action card effect would create two Might and two Vigor tokens, instead it would only create one Might and one Vigor token.
  • If an action card would create the same token over two separate effects, instead it will create one less per effect. E.g. If two separate effects create 1 token each, they instead don’t create any tokens.
  • If the replacement effects of a Double Down and Ripple Away can both be applied to an effect that would create 1 or more tokens, the turn player will decide which player’s effect will be applied first. If Ripple Away’s replacement effect is applied first and results in the number of tokens created to be 0, Double Down’s effect would no longer apply and no tokens would be created.
  • Effects that transform objects into tokens are affected by Ripple Away’s effect because transforming an object into a token involves creating a token. E.g. If you would transform 3 Ash into 3 Aether Ashwings, Ripple Away’s effect would reduce that to transforming only 2 Ash into 2 Aether Ashwings. Note that the original transformation must be legal before the replacement effect applies, i.e. the player must have 3 Ash if they choose to transform 3 Ashwings before Ripple reduces it to 2 Ashwings – they cannot choose 3 if they do not already control at least 3 Ash.
