Say both of Sky-Scraper's Rebounding Debilitator cards are placed on the same target. That target then tries to deal 3 or more damage. What happens next? Is it:
A) Both cards trigger simultaneously. Prevent the instant of damage, then destroy/place on top of the deck both cards in whatever order.
B) Both cards trigger simultaneously. One of the cards prevents the damage and is destroyed/placed on t.o.d.—the second card "untriggers" because there is no longer any damage to prevent, and remains on the target
C) The cards don't trigger simultanesouly, but in order—same result as B.
I've been going with A. I like the way A feels. Is this wrong?
Same thing with Neutralizing Resonator: if there are two on one target I would destroy both of them after destroying 1 ongoing, because the "If you do" wording seems to allow for a simultaneous destruction trigger. Or is that wrong too?
C... I think... Eitherway, only one goes away and the other remains in play.
Each Neutralizing Resonator has their own Start of Turn, so you'd do whichever one was in play first, destroying it if you also destroyed an Ongoing, then you would move to the second Neutralizing Resonator.
in the same way that you can't redirect the damage twice with 2 Synaptic Interruptions, you can't prevent the same damage twice with 2 Rebounding Debilitators.
General agreement. Here's what's currently written in the (entirely unofficial, fan-created, but based on official rulings) Damage Dealing doc: "
If there are multiple damage negation effects, players choose the order to apply them. In almost all cases, only the first one chosen will matter, as it negates all the damage, and there is no damage remaining for the other negation effects to work on."
Also, the "destroy this card" on Neutralizing Resonator (or any other card) refers only to the specific card it is printed on. "This card" does NOT mean "all cards with the same name as this".
