If Darius is played as the second card in a turn, does he see himself as the second card and become ready?

Ruling: Yes, Darius sees himself as the second card and becomes ready when played as the second card of the turn.

Sequence:

  • A unit only counts as played once it has entered the board
  • "When you play" effects trigger after the unit enters
  • Darius is already active when his trigger checks
  • He sees himself as the second card played

Nuances:

  • This only works if Darius is the second card played; if he is the third card, he would not become ready
