Inactive — Riftbound Rules

Section 720 — 12 rules

721.: Card text can occasionally be assigned to be ignored, disregarded, or otherwise rendered as not applicable during the course of play. This state is referred to as Inactive.
721.1.: Text marked this way is not applied at all while in this state.
721.2.: Inactive Abilities do not trigger, do not apply, and cannot be activated. Inactive instructions are not processed.
722.: Inactive text is still present on cards.
722.1.: Cards with Inactive text still have keywords for the sake of Game Effects that want to reference or see if a card has a keyword.
722.2.: Game Effects that parse or interpret text to determine target eligibility may still parse Inactive text for the sake of eligibility. Example: Spinning Axe is a gear with [Temporary]. While it’s attached and its rules text is inactive, its [Temporary] ability doesn’t trigger. However, a spell that reads “Destroy a gear with [Temporary]” could still choose and destroy Spinning Axe.
723.: Rules Text is never Inactive by default.
724.: Effect Text is Inactive unless the card with the Effect Text is Attached.
725.: Inactive text can partially cease to be Inactive under specific circumstances and exceptions.
725.1.: If an Attached card has a Passive or Replacement ability that applies during the process of Attaching or a Triggered ability that triggers off of Attaching, that text exists and can be processed as it Attaches.
725.2.: If an Attached card has a Passive or Replacement ability that applies during the process of Detaching or a Triggered ability that triggers off of Detaching, that text exists and can be processed as it Detaches.
725.3.: If an Attached card has an Equip ability, the Weaponmaster keyword can reference that Equip ability and any abilities that passively modify that Equip ability.
