When can I play an Interrupt X card?
Quick answer
You can play an Interrupt X card when resolving its effect during your turn, typically as part of an Action card's resolution.
Details
The Interrupt X keyword allows you to discard the X rightmost cards from an opponent’s Action card track (starting from the highest-numbered slot with a card) [p.36 — Combat Tags]. This effect is resolved when the card containing the Interrupt X ability is played or triggered during your turn.
Procedure
- Timing: Interrupt X is resolved during step 2 of your Player’s Turn (Resolving an Action card) or when explicitly triggered by a card effect [p.19 — Player's Turn].
- Execution: When resolving the Interrupt X effect, discard the specified number of cards from the opponent’s rightmost slots. For example, if the opponent has cards in slots 1–4 and you use Interrupt 2, discard the cards in slots 3 and 4.
- Consequences: If this leaves the opponent with no cards in their track during step 2 of their turn, their turn ends immediately [p.36 — Combat Tags].
Edge Case
Watch out: If multiple Interrupt effects are triggered in a single turn, only the first one resolves. Subsequent Interrupts are ignored, as per the rule that only the first Trigger/Interrupt effect is processed per turn [p.19 — Player's Turn].
