Appendix D - Identifying Cards Many rules and cards will refer to certain attributes on cards for identification purposes (Droid, Jedi, star destroyer, hologram, etc.). Cards are most commonly referred to by name, subtype, or icon. The two cards pictured here illustrate this. They might be referred to by their card type icons - droid or starship – or by other icons on the card. Artoo, for instance, is from Episode I; Conquest has a permanent nav computer and scomp link. The cards can also be referred to by their name (or a part of their name) or their subtype (or a part of that). Artoo, for instance, is an astromech, because his If a card has an attribute by virtue of its game text, subtype is "Astromech Droid." Conquest is "Capital: and that game text is canceled, they still have the Imperial-class Star Destroyer." This means that any attribute (unless they have it conditionally, such as references to capital starship refers to Conquest, as "Spy while on Coruscant."). In these cases, Wullf and well as star destroyers and Imperial-class star Myn would remain Imperial Council Members and royal destroyers. This applies to all cards: Probe Droid and guards, respectively. Sith Probe Droid are both probe droids, because "probe droid" is a part of the name. Likewise, Jabba's Space Lore Cruiser and Home One are both cruisers, because it's As you can see by the images above, lore is not part of the name for the former and part of the subtype typically used to identify a card. Lore exists to provide for the latter. flavor and background information. In the instances of A certain amount of common sense is required with the cards above, Artoo is not a maintenance droid and this (if confused, check the list at the end of the Conquest is not a cruiser. Even though their lore refers appendix for some of the most common examples). to those things, it is not generally used to identify a Astromechs, for instance, are characters (droids), thus card. Astromech Translator and Astormech Shortage are not That being said, there are some rare cases where it is targeted by cards that refer to astromechs. Likewise, used. It is important to remember that these are banthas are creature vehicles (big lumbering beasts exceptions to the normal rules of referencing – lore you ride) – Bantha, Rogue Bantha, and is normally not used to identify a card.

Likewise, Myn Kyneugh is a royal guard – his game text refers to "other royal Image guards" which indicates that he himself is one (they With the exception of gender, images never matter can't be other royal guards if he isn't one). A card's under any circumstances. game text must indicate that it is referring to itself to gain an attribute. For instance, the presence of the word "Jedi" in Padme's game text doesn't make her a Jedi, because it's obviously not referring to her.
