Had a situation yesterday in which Visionary went into TK cocoon and then the environment played the card that plays the top card of each deck from Ruins of Atlantis (can't remember name off-hand). I thought the ruling on that was that Visionary can't play cards, but cards from her deck can be played by outside effects (that card, OmX, etc.) but the game basically prevented the card play caying that Vis cannot play cards. I'd guess the same thing might come up with Bunker's Turret mode, would have to check that.
Basically, which is it, can game effects such as timeshift or that card from Ruins play cards from hero decks when the hero cannot play cards due to TK, etc. or not?
I'm asking over here first before putting in a bug report, in case the ruling has changed.
Based on wording of Ruins of Atlantis what happened in the app would be correct. Timeshift is different in that it reveals a card then you decide whether to discard it or put into play. The wording on Atlantean says to play the top card of your deck which is why it got blocked.
You are mis-remembering the ruling.
Visionary in her Cocoon (and the others with this restriction) cannot play cards, which is what the Atlantean Font of Power does. However things like Timeshift which say put a card into play are different and are not prevented.
Put into play and Play are different flavours of similar actions.

okay, thanks for the responses. yeah, I was misremembering which one Font did.
