CotCT 3A: Red Mantis Orange Flames question

[Sliska Zafir]

Question regarding the end of your turn power.

Do you always banish/"burn" the boons, or only if the cards you examine contain a red mantis assassin?

[Keith Richmond]

You always burn the boons, as that power is its own sentence and not contingent on the previous "if".

[Sliska Zafir]

Good. The key here (and my son read it right), was there would be a semi-colon between those two phrases if it was contingent, not a period and two sentences.

[Keith Richmond]

Exactly right! :)

[Droideka]

Does the Red Mantis go back on top as it is not one of the "any other examined cards"?

Example, you examine the top 3 cards, Barrier, Boon & Red Mantis.
As you examined a Red Mantis, you encounter the danger. Then banish the Boon and return any other examined cards to the bottom , so just the Barrier (as you have already performed the required action from examining the Red Mantis)?

[Keith Richmond]

It isn't a boon, so it is one of the "other (than the boons you just banished) examined cards" here.

[Droideka]

As I suspected but I had to check as it sparked a discussion within my group. Sometimes people read into things that just aren't there ;)
Thank you again :)
