Harbingers of the Lightning (Lightning's Swift Strike)

Frequently Asked Questions

Definitions

• What does the slash mean in effects like "Push up to 3 (Explorer)/(Town)"?
  It means "pieces of either or both types" - you are Pushing up to 3 pieces; those pieces may be Explorers and/or Towns.

  Similarly, "1 Damage to each [Town]/[City]" means "1 Damage to each piece that is either a Town or a City". (Or, in theory, both - though this would require some bizarre new piece considered both a Town and a City in order to be a relevant case.)

  This is described in the reference on the back cover of the rulebook.

  (Formally, the slash is a union operator.)

Spirits and Innate Powers

• What land does Harbingers of the Lightning generate Fear in?
  The target land.

  Thematically, it should be "one land pushed to which has Town/City", but that's not how the card's written. Feel free to play it the thematic way if your playgroup prefers.
