Android Netrunner Comprehensive Unofficial Rules Wiki
Advertisement
This ruling was made official in the FAQ. See FAQ 1.4.29.

When the Runner plays a Satellite Uplink with a Blackguard installed, it is resolved as follows:

  • The Runner picks two cards to expose
  • Both cards are exposed at the same time
    • Blackguard triggers for both exposed cards at the same time
    • The Runner decides the order for the simultaneous Blackguard triggers
      • The first Blackguard trigger resolves and the Corporation must rez the chosen card by paying its rez cost, if able
      • The second Blackguard trigger resolves and the Corporation must rez the chosen card by paying its rez cost, if able

Question[]

As a runner, lets say I have blackguard installed. Corp has 6 credits. I use satellite uplink for my first click and target an asset and and ice in front of it. Lets say this is a viktor 2.0 (5 to rez) and a San San (6 to rez). He must rez if able, but who chooses which one and in which order?

I have a feeling it's the runner's choice after seeing both and would then get to choose which of these must be rezzed as it's his turn and priorities in Netrunner usually allow the person playing an effect or ability to choose the order to do so but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

Answer[]

Tybb-sly Both of the cards are exposed at the same time, and the Runner chooses each card before resolving the effect. The Runner can then pick the order that the Blackguard triggers resolve in, since they are simultaneous.
