Cancel

Some card abilities can cancel card or game effects.

• Cancel abilities interrupt the initiation of effects and prevent them from resolving.

• Anytime the effects of an ability are canceled, the ability (apart from its effects) is still regarded as initiated, and any costs are still paid. Only the effects are prevented from initiating, and do not resolve.

• If the effects of an event card are canceled, the card is still considered played, and it is discarded.

• If the effects of a treachery card are canceled, the card is still regarded as revealed, and it is still placed in the encounter discard pile.

• Cancel effects are considered a subtype of replacement effect, with the canceled effect being replaced with no effect.

  • Abilities dependent on the canceled effect cannot trigger as the canceled effect is not considered to have occurred.
