Can you Float Energy during the resolution of Bullet Time to pay its Power cost?

Ruling: Yes, you can Float Energy during the resolution of Bullet Time before paying the Power cost. Anytime a player has to pay any resources, that player can activate abilities with the "add" and "reaction" tags.

Sequence:

  • Cast Bullet Time
  • When Bullet Time resolves and you need to pay the Power cost
  • Float Energy (using "add" abilities) before paying
  • Pay the Power cost with the floated Energy

Nuances:

  • This rule applies only when you are required to pay resources. You cannot float resources mid-resolution of abilities that don't require payment (like Miss Fortune - Captain's move trigger).
  • If an ability doesn't require resource payment, you must float resources before the ability resolves or in response to it, not during its resolution.
