Paradox is an ability word introduced in the Universes Beyond set Doctor Who.

Description

In Doctor Who, paradoxes range from relatively harmless to universe ending.

Paradox is an ability word that provides an effect, whenever you cast a spell from anywhere but your hand. This works well with mechanics like Escape, Cascade, Flashback and Retrace. Often these abilities are triggered abilities that trigger whenever you do so. Some paradox abilities count the number of spells you've cast from anywhere other than your hand that turn to determine the magnitude of their effects.

This space was previously explored with Vega, the Watcher (supporting foretell), Poxwalkers, Keeper of Secrets, and Mizzix, Replica Rider.

Rulings

• A player offered a villainous choice can always choose either option, even if the effect of that option turns out to not do anything.
• If multiple players are offered a villainous choice, the first opponent in turn order makes their choice, then that effect happens. Then, the next player makes their choice, that effect happens, and so on for each player faced with a villainous choice.
