Talk:Black Cat

cf. http://forum.shuffleit.nl/index.php?topic=4048.0

According to the text, the triggering event is the purchase of a `Victory` card. Therefore, any `Black Cat` cards drawn by the `Black Cat` wouldn't have that triggering effect valid (they were not avaialble when the `Victory` card was gained.

Is there an official ruling on this?

I think that you could react with just-drawn Black Cats after you finish resolving the current one - that's because you could've had more than one Black Cat in hand (you are not required to reveal your whole hand), and you react with them one-by-one anyways (as with other Reaction cards) m_knox (talk) 15:59, 18 March 2020 (EDT)

It is addressed officially in the Menagerie rulebook, under Reactions:

"If playing one of these Reactions draws you another Reaction that can be used at the same time, you can use it, and so on. For example, you might have one Black Cat in hand when an opponent gains a Province, play it, draw another, play it, draw another, play it."

In general, triggers open up a window of time. If new effects are adding during that window, they can still be triggered too, even though they weren't around when the window first opened. Crlundy (talk) 16:26, 18 March 2020 (EDT)
