JACK! http://overpower.ca/wiki/AY

I was discussing Meta Rule 162 and someone referred to this page in the Wiki and I noticed something that needs to be addressed (at least I think). You noted that if you draw a Power card that is only usable with the AY, but it's available at that time (either placed or drawn at the same time), that you can keep it... but this is only true of the non-avoid variety, right? If I draw a level 8E, but my 8 is in Reserve, and Bishop's up front with his AY, I cannot keep the 8, right? because I cannot initiate his grid alteration myself and I can't garauntee that my Opponent will attack Bishop with Energy...

Anyway, it's small but I thought I'd bring it up (unless I'm wrong, which would be great for Bishop  )

I didn't actually write that blurb about the AY special. That's found in the tournament guide and I put it there as a reference.

And yes you cannot hold it in hand because the action to make it playable is on the opponent.

"When played offensively, this Special cannot be played on the same turn along with a Universe card. When played defensively, it may be played with a Universe card."

No ally following?
