Since Orb of Prophecy and Change is about to become a much more common card, I was taking a look at it and trying to figure out exactly how it would work once I got it in play.
Since the card play takes place during the play phase, not the execute orders phase, I have to have everything set up in the correct places for my card play at the end of the prior turn.
I understand the “here” in the phrase “one of your cards played here plays for free” to mean at the same space line (or time) location that the orb is. So if the orb is stuck somewhere— say on a planet where it can’t currently be beamed up to my outpost — or at a site at a Nor other than the one where I want the free play to occur, this phrase is not a problem.
However, the next part of the sentence confuses me a bit: “plays for free if your personnel present.”
Does the personnel need to be present with the orb?
Or present where the card play is occurring?
