wotc23 Aug 2016
The effects of each council’s dilemma ability happen in the stated order. First the vote occurs, then the first effect, and finally the second effect.
wotc23 Aug 2016
Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council’s dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
wotc23 Aug 2016
Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
wotc23 Aug 2016
You must vote for one of the available options. You can’t abstain.
wotc23 Aug 2016
Players can’t do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.
wotc23 Aug 2016
No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
