A player, 17 August 2014
Hello, I had a question about the following scenario
I have one personality with an Oriole Imperial Vanguard and one personality without it. Both are targeted by A Growing Rift.
Does the negation on one of the guys negate the whole action, or does the negation basically not matter because the personality w/o OIV still can't attack with that guy. I'm assuming the entire action is negated because OIV says, "negates remaining effects."
Cheers!
Oriole Imperial Vanguard: After the first time each phase a Political action targets this Personality, negate its remaining effects. Growing Rift: Political Open: Target two Personalities controlled by the same player. They may not attack in the same army (this turn).

The effect preventing them from attacking together happens after the targeting, so Oriole Imperial Vanguard will negate the entirety of it.
