Does a cascade count as part of the action that added the original Blight (e.g., for effects that care about Blight being added during a Ravage Action)?
Does a cascade count as part of the action that added the original Blight (e.g., for effects that care about Blight being added during a Ravage Action)?
Yes. This means that a Ravage in one land can, via cascading, add Blight into another land, even one on another board.
For specific examples:
- The "Destructive Nature" special rule of Heart of the Wildfire protects its Presence from cascades caused by Spirit Actions.
- Against the Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony), if a single Ravage Action causes 8+ Damage to a land, then all of the Blight cascading from that Ravage also counts towards the Adversary's "Irreparable Damage" loss condition. (In solo play, this causes an immediate loss.)
- Against the Tsardom of Russia Level 1+, Blight cascading from a Ravage destroys Beasts tokens due to "Hunters Bring Home Shell and Hide," possibly harvesting multiple Beasts tokens from a single Ravage Action.
- Against the Kingdom of Scotland Level 5+, Blight cascading into a Coastal land from a Ravage triggers the extra Blight from "Runoff and Bilgewater" even if the Ravage Action was in an Inland land or on a different board. If Blight is added into multiple Coastal lands this way due to a single Ravage Action (e.g., if a Ravage in a Coastal land cascades into another Coastal land), only trigger "Runoff and Bilgewater" once. (Thus if a single Ravage Action adds Blight into Coastal lands on multiple boards, player choose which of those boards is "that board" for "Runoff and Bilgewater.")
However, cascading Blight against the Kingdom of Sweden Level 5+ doesn't activate the "Mining Rush" effect, since "Mining Rush" explicitly excludes cascades.
