I'm a little unclear about the second order on GG.
Greater Good
Open: If there are two or more other players in the game: Straighten two target units.
Open: If four Personlaties with Clan alignments are in play, no two of whom share a Clan alignment: Straighten two target units.
Lets say I have a Lion, Unicorn, Crab, and Spider personality on my side. My opponent has a Unicorn personality on his side. Since my Unicorn personality shares a clan alignment with one of his personalities, will that prevent me from using the second order?
What if I had Lion, Lion, Crab, Unicorn, Crane? There are 4 different personalities that don't share an alignment amongst them, but, one of them individually shares a clan alignment with another one of my personalities? Does that stop me from playing GG?
Since you don't target the 4 personalities to determine who does and doesn't share a clan alignment, I'm a little lost on this one, when I'm sure the answer is pretty simple.
Thank you.
*edit* Sorry. Thanks again
