Staunch Response (Red)

Since defense reactions can’t defend in the defending window and must be played in the reaction window, you must pay Staunch Response’s cost to play it.

You choose if you want to pay the additional cost at the time you play Staunch Response.

The additional cost is in addition to Staunch Reponse’s normal resource cost. If you want to play Staunch Response with the bonus, it would cost to play.

If you pay the additional cost of Staunch Response, it’s still considered to cost 2 (as printed in the top right corner of the card.)
