Another Procession/Duration question
« on: January 02, 2013, 12:22:40 am »

I play Procession, then on the procession play a second procession. Then I play let's say two Caravans. What stays in play until the next turn? Nothing, or the first Procession? Obviously, I'll be drawing a card four times at the start of the next turn regardless.

From my understanding of the rules, the only cards that stay in play are durations themselves, and the cards that modify them directly, i.e. not the first Procession. But then I know the reason modifying cards stay out is to show you that they're doing something and to remind you. I would guess that the hard rules trump this, but, I'm not 100% certain right now.

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Nothing stays out, via the hard rules. For a brief time I ruled that Thrones that Throned Thrones that Throned duration cards stayed out, but I abandoned that in favor of following the rulebook as closely as possible.

Wait, why wouldn't the second Procession stay out? It was used to play/modify a Duration card, so wouldn't it stay out the same as a Throne Room?

That appears to be what the rulebook states:

Quote from: Dark Ages Rulebook
If you use Procession on a Duration card (from Seaside), Procession will stay out until your next turn and the Duration card will have its effect twice on your next turn, even though the Duration card is trashed.

Because the first Procession trashes it?
