For Accelerate effects that allow units to enter ready, do you only tap an additional rune or do you also recycle a rune?

Ruling: For Accelerate abilities, you must both exhaust (tap) 1 energy rune of any color AND recycle 1 rune of the specified color shown in the Accelerate cost.

Sequence:

  • Pay the normal unit cost (e.g., 5 runes for Miss Fortune)
  • Exhaust 1 additional rune of any color for the energy cost
  • Recycle 1 rune of the color specified in the Accelerate cost (e.g., orange for Miss Fortune)
  • The unit enters play ready instead of exhausted

Nuances:

  • The energy cost (exhaust) can be paid with any color rune
  • The recycle cost must match the specific color shown in the Accelerate ability
