Does Jinx Legend's ability trigger every turn (even when she has more than 1 card in hand), giving opponents an opportunity to play Reactions at the beginning of her turn before scoring?

Ruling: Jinx Legend's ability triggers at the beginning of every turn regardless of how many cards she has in hand, and goes onto the chain. This gives all opponents an opportunity to play Reactions before the Scoring Step.

Sequence:

  • Beginning Step occurs (Jinx Legend ability triggers)
  • All players get opportunity to play Reactions in turn order
  • Scoring Step occurs (hold points are scored)

Nuances:

  • In FFA, all players at the table get the opportunity to play Reactions in turn order when Jinx's ability triggers
  • This is generally not a huge downside for Jinx since opponents have limited information at the beginning of her turn - they haven't seen what she'll do yet
  • The main advantage for opponents is forcing Jinx to awaken/use runes before they commit their Reaction, but this provides minimal information gain
  • Annie has a similar trigger at the end of her turn, which is more disadvantageous since opponents have seen the whole turn before deciding to react
