How is Might calculated when Smokescreen (-4 Might) and Discipline (+2 Might each) are played on a 4 Might unit, and how does timing affect the result?

Ruling: Smokescreen "snapshots" the amount it reduces when it resolves, and that reduction applies for the rest of the turn. The final Might depends on the order of resolution.

Sequence:

  • If Smokescreen resolves first on a 4 Might unit: It reduces to 1 Might (due to Smokescreen's restriction preventing reduction below 1), then adding two Disciplines (+4 total) results in 5 Might.
  • If buffs resolve first: A 4 Might unit becomes 8 Might with +4 from Disciplines, then Smokescreen applies -4, resulting in 4 Might.

Nuances:

  • Smokescreen has a restriction that prevents it from reducing Might below 1
  • The amount Smokescreen reduces is "snapshotted" when it resolves and remains fixed for the turn
  • Chain resolution order matters: the last card in the chain resolves first
