<\/p>This is the latest red card to include the ability sometimes referred to as “reverse looting,” “red looting,” or “rummaging.” While blue cards frequently have “Draw a card, then discard a card” abilities, red doesn’t get that same luxury and flexibility. Instead, red gets “Discard a card, then draw a card.”<\/p>\n
So be careful when resolving these kinds of abilities. Academy Raider hits your opponent, and the ability triggers. Don’t just go drawing a card right away, or you’ll get yourself into trouble. At Competitive REL, you might just earn yourself a Drawing Extra Cards infraction (which carries a Game Loss penalty)! You have to follow the instructions in order, so as the ability resolves, first you may discard a card. Then “if you do”, you get to draw a card. It’s important to note that virtually all these “red loot” abilities, including Academy Raider<\/a>, require the discard in order to draw. If you have no cards in hand, you can’t discard. And if you don’t discard, you can’t draw.<\/p>\n Today’s Rules Tip written by Josh Stansfield<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the latest red card to include the ability sometimes referred to as “reverse looting,” “red looting,” or “rummaging.” While blue cards frequently have “Draw a card, then discard a card” abilities, red doesn’t get that same luxury and flexibility.
