Can you use Veiled Temple to ready the Gold gear token generated by Plundering Poro when conquering Veiled Temple?
Ruling: No, you cannot ready the Gold gear token created by Plundering Poro with Veiled Temple's ability during the same conquer event.
Sequence:
- Plundering Poro conquers Veiled Temple
- Both abilities trigger simultaneously
- When placing Veiled Temple's ability on the chain, you must choose a target gear to ready
- The Gold token does not exist yet because Plundering Poro's ability has not resolved
- Since no valid target exists, Veiled Temple's ability cannot target the Gold token
- Plundering Poro's ability resolves afterward, creating the Gold token exhausted
Nuances:
- Targets must be chosen when an ability is placed on the chain, not when it resolves
- You cannot sequence the triggers to work around this limitation because target selection happens before either ability resolves
- If you have other friendly gear in play, you can target those with Veiled Temple's ability instead
