We had a discussion on whether you can play a power like Life Lantern's one when facing a situation where you are instructed not to play more than card. What do you think?
You may play no more than 1 card on the check to defeat
For your combat check, reveal this card and recharge a card.... to....
By the book I think you can't.
Other example:Reveal this card and discard a spell to....
You're not playing the extra card that you discard or recharge, only the Life Lantern or Staff of Focus, so it's really just playing 1 card.
This has been refined over the 4 sets, and is actually very clear in the Mummy's Mask rulebook:
Playing a card means using a power on that card by performing an action with that card that is specified by the card itself. Choosing to activate a power on a displayed card also counts as playing it.
If you apply these rules to your questions, the answer is clear.
Thanks guys
