Instant ability

When you activate an instant ability, resolve it immediately once.

Your SABOTEUR (5) loses this encounter, so you activate his ability: Your opponent discards the top 2 cards of their deck. Your opponent places both cards face up onto their discard pile.

Ongoing ability

When you activate an ongoing ability, place an ongoing token \boldsymbol{\Delta} on that card. The ongoing ability is in effect from now on. It remains in effect even if the card wins its encounter over the course of the game.

If the ongoing token \boldsymbol{\Delta} is ever removed from the card, the ongoing ability ceases to be in effect. If an ongoing ability ceases to be in effect, immediately resolve any changes that this may entail (including in past encounters). Note: Some abilities allow you to place ongoing tokens on cards already in play. This allows you to activate an ongoing ability of a card in a past encounter.

In the second encounter, your opponent wins again and places a signet onto their card.

• You activate your MEDIATOR'S (4) ability:

This encounter is a tie. You place an ongoing token \boldsymbol{\Delta} on your MEDIATOR. As long as that token stays there, this encounter is a tie. Therefore, you return the signet from the opponent's card back to the supply.

Special case: Tokens \boldsymbol{\Delta} are not limited. Should any run out, use any suitable substitute.
