When can resources be floated in Riftbound, and what are the limitations on floating resources?
Ruling: Resources can be floated when paying for costs or anytime you can play a reaction, and also whenever you have priority (which allows recycling runes to float power at any time within timing restrictions).
Sequence:
- Tap runes to float energy whenever you have priority
- Use floated resources to pay costs
- Floated resources empty at the end of turn AND after the draw phase
Nuances:
- You cannot float resources before the channel phase and have them available during your turn (they empty after draw phase)
- Reaction effects that generate resources can be used in excess of the cost being paid
- You can float resources in excess when paying for costs
- Common play pattern: Float energy from runes, recycle one rune for additional effect, then use the floated energy to pay for costs
