LSJ: Playing Archon Investigation with less than 3 pool

Is a Methuselah allowed to play cards xe does not have enough pool to pay for? or more specifically, Is a Methuselah allowed to play A.I. if xe has less than 3 pool left? Thanks. YY

[ quoted text not captured ] Is this contradicting the Vast Wealth ruling? I thought in general Partial Costs was a given.

I'm confused why this is even a question--if you have 1 pool, can you play an Asylum Hunting Ground? Of course not. Why could you play an AI? I mean, even in a logic riddle? -Peter

[ quoted text not captured ] No, they match. You cannot attempt what you cannot do. And, for cases like Vast Weath where you find out later (after committing to the action), then you pay as much of the cost as you can (and it fizzles for lack of complete cost payment).

[ quoted text not captured ] IIRC, the Vast Wealth ruling is based on the fact that the action provided by Vast Wealth itself has a cost of 0 (zero). The cost of the equipment is a side effect of resolving the action. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/5ce4708f633a5b3d Cheers YY
