All-Nighter

[Pontius Pirate]

The ruling on the card makes it seem fairly simple, but at the same time somewhat wrong. I pay the resource cost of 4, then immidiately proceed to detach 9 resources from my faction. This means that I can detach the resources I just attached, effectively cancelling out the cost of the card. Wouldn't it be less ineffectual to simple give the card a cost of 0 and detach 5 resources?

Actually, now that I think about it, it gives the card a later game use, so you're not firing off lots of stuff early on, I suppose. Forgive my for being dumb.

You are forgiven. As a reminder, you don't "immeidately" detach the 9 resources, you have to wait for any responses first, but you will be able to detach the 4 resources you attached to pay the cost.
