When playing a card with Accelerate (like Miss Fortune Captain), do you pay the base energy cost plus recycle additional runes, or do you pay both energy and power as separate costs?
Ruling: To play Miss Fortune Captain with Accelerate, you pay 6 energy and 2 body power. Energy and power are separate resources that you pay as costs.
Sequence:
- Exhaust 6 runes to generate 6 energy
- Recycle 2 body runes to generate 2 body power
- Pay the 6 energy and 2 body power to play the card with Accelerate
Nuances:
- "Pay" applies to any resource (energy, power, etc.), not just energy
- Recycling runes is the most common way to generate power, but other effects can also generate power
- Power uses rainbow symbols meaning you can pay with any domain of power
- The same principle applies to Deflect costs
