Does Soaring Scout's 'Channel 1 rune exhausted' effect mean you take a rune from the rune deck, or does it mean you ready/exhaust a rune already on your board?

Ruling: Channel always means taking a rune from the rune deck and placing it on your board exhausted. It does not refer to readying or exhausting runes already on your board.

Nuances:

• Readying a rune already on your board would be worded as "ready a rune" or "ready an exhausted rune"
• Channeling works the same way regardless of whether you have recycled or exhausted runes during the turn
