with dariius hand of noxus. do i just play 1 card then tap for legion legend effect?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is correct. To activate the ability on **Hand of Noxus**, you must first play another card (a Main Deck card) during the same turn to satisfy the **Legion** condition.

Once the **Legion** condition is met for the turn, you may exhaust (tap) the Legend to activate the ability and gain 1 energy.

According to **RiftJudge FAQ #9278** and the card's ability text:
1.  **Satisfy Legion:** Play a Main Deck card first.
2.  **Activate:** Exhaust the Legend to add 1 energy to your pool.

**Important points to remember:**
*   **No Reactions:** Because this ability adds a resource, it resolves immediately and cannot be reacted to by your opponent.
*   **Timing:** The 1 energy generated must be spent during the turn it is created; it does not carry over.
*   **Legion Requirement:** If you attempt to exhaust the Legend *before* playing any cards in a turn, the **Legion** condition is not met, and the ability will fail.
