Tarpit Trap (Yellow)

“When this defends” is an event-based trigger. Whether the attack has go again is checked at the time this resolves and becomes a defending card (i.e. defends the attack). If the trigger condition is met only after this resolves, then this does not trigger.

The effect is still functional on the next attack action card to hit, even if that attack is on a new combat chain.

This prevents any effect that would trigger the next time an attack action card hits, including on-hit and on-damage effects. It does not prevent effects from triggering if the attack deals damage in other ways (in steps other than the damage step of combat) or subsequent times an attack action card hits.

If an effect would trigger, but is prevented by this, it still counts towards the number of times it would trigger. For effects that say “The next time” or “The first time” that are prevented from triggering, they won’t trigger again.
