Maybe we’re in the minority, but my friends and I like the Vault Assault multiplayer variant. But we’re wondering if a card like Caught You Napping (Play: If you are overwhelmed, exhaust an enemy creature. Steal 1 aember for each exhausted enemy creature.) becomes broken in that format because of the boon Authority (Reveal: Choose a house. Exhaust all creatures and artifacts of that house.).

A highly likely line of play: you are in a three-player game > you draft Authority > you choose Mars and exhaust opponent 1’s three Mars creatures and opponent 2’s two Mars creatures > play Caught You Napping during your turn and (let’s pretend those creatures are still exhausted) you steal 5 aember. Powerful stuff.

Let’s say I’m holding both halves of a gigantic creature. My opponent plays Talent Scout (Play: Look at your opponent’s hand and play a creature from it as if to were yours. Your opponent takes control of Talent Scout.) and looks at my hand. Is he able to play the gigantic creature?

I feel like the correct answer is yes because, despite being treated as two CARDS while not it play, it is always treated as a single CREATURE. Both halves are in my hand and ready to be played.

Help settle a rules debate. New card: Caught You Napping.

Action. Play: If you are overwhelmed, exhaust an enemy creature. Steal 1 aember for each
exhausted enemy creature.

I’m not overwhelmed, but my opponent has 1 exhausted creature. I still steal 1 aember, correct?
