If Lucian is moved to a battlefield with Relentless Pursuit (already ready), can he use his ready ability when he conquers a second battlefield later that turn?

Ruling: Lucian's printed ready ability can only be used the first time he conquers each turn. You must use it when it triggers and cannot save it for a later conquest.

Sequence:

  • When Lucian enters play exhausted, play Relentless Pursuit to move him to battlefield 1
  • He conquers and triggers both his printed ready ability and Pursuit's return-to-base ability
  • Resolve Pursuit's ability first to move him back to base
  • Resolve his printed ability to ready himself
  • Use a standard move action to move him to battlefield 2
  • He conquers again and triggers Pursuit's return-to-base ability (but not his printed ready ability)
  • Resolve Pursuit's ability to return him to base

Nuances:

  • Moves granted by Relentless Pursuit do not exhaust the unit
  • Lucian's ready ability only triggers the first time he conquers each turn, not on subsequent conquests
  • When multiple "when I conquer" abilities trigger simultaneously, you can order them however you want
  • Relentless Pursuit's return-to-base ability lasts the entire turn and applies to all conquests that turn
