Answer

Ruling: An instruction is any action a card tells you to do, with each different action being a different instruction. Text that says "do X, then do Y" represents two separate instructions, while "do X to do Y" represents a single instruction where both parts must be fulfilled.

Nuances:

  • The word "then" separating actions indicates they are separate instructions that can be partially followed independently
  • The phrase "do X to do Y" indicates a single instruction where X is required to achieve Y
  • Instructions can be partially followed when possible (e.g., discarding 1 card when instructed to discard 2)
  • The CR currently lacks an explicit definition of "instruction" and would benefit from clearer terminology
