I respond _to the play of the dragon_ with Dragon's Hunger. He discards a hazard creature and the hazard limit is reduced by one (to zero). Since the haz limit is now zero, is the dragon creature discarded for no effect? Or must the playing of the dragon creature card resolve (and thus be unaffected by a reduced hazard limit) before I can play Dragon's Hunger?
*** CRF (Playing hazards): You check the hazard liimit at declaration and resolution. At declaration there must be less hazards already declared than the hazard limit. At resolution there must be no more hazards declared than the hazard limit.
The Rain-drake has not yet resolved. The Dragon's Hunger is resolved first. When we get back to the rest of the Rain-drake, there's no more hazard limit left and is thus cancelled.
Doesn't the Dragon's card have to resolve before the attack exists? Isn't play of Dragon's Hunger illegal in response to the declaration of a hazard which will create an attack upon resolution?Dragon's Hunger wrote:Playable on a Dragon or Drake attack. If one is available, opponent must discard a hazard creature from his hand; this reduces the company's hazard limit by one. Otherwise, the attack is cancelled.
