Tough Old Wrench (Blue)

Tough Old Wrench triggers when it becomes a defending card on the combat chain. This is 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, you will create a Golden Cog token.

There’s no priority between choosing to destroy an item you control and creating a Golden Cog token.

You cannot do the optional effect if you are unable to destroy an item you control.

You may choose to crank the Golden Cog created this way, however you will not get an action point since it is not your action phase.
