Payoff
Deck
- Legend domains must cover Fury and Chaos (103.1.b.1 "Cards included in your deck must abide by your Domain Identity", 103.1.b.2 "Your deck's Domain Identity is dictated by the domains of your Champion Legend"). Five legends are Fury/Chaos: OGN-251 Loose Cannon, OGS-017 Dark Child, SFD-185 Glorious Executioner, UNL-185 Bloodharbor Ripper, VEN-143 Master of Shadows.
- A unit at a battlefield to point the damage at. No battlefield of its own.
Prerequisites
- THE DAMAGE READS THE PRINTED COST, AND THAT IS THE WHOLE CARD. 206: "Effects that need to determine a card's cost for any purpose always use its printed or copied cost, even if that cost is increased, decreased, or ignored as the card is played" - its worked example is Lux, Illuminated reading Sky Splitter's printed 8 through a discount. So Get Excited!'s ceiling is not 3, it is 10: OGN-195 Rhasa the Sunderer (Chaos, E10 P1) and UNL-147 Baron Nashor (Chaos, E10 P3) are both in a Fury/Chaos identity, and "(Ignore its Power cost.)" says the Power does not count against you either way. Ten kills every unit printed in the pool except the two 12-Might ones. The issue measured this at 3 (Chompers) and 6 (Brazen Buccaneer); it is 10.
- AND THE TWO USES OF RHASA DO NOT FIGHT. 206 means a discount never changes the printed cost, so the same Rhasa the trash-discount line wants to CAST cheaply (see rhasa-shadowblade-trash-discount) is still an E10 card when this spell reads it. Discarding one copy is 10 damage; the other two still cost what the trash says.
- THE ONE FURY POWER IS THE WHOLE PRICE OF THE FLAME CHOMPERS BODY, and this walk re-checked the reading rather than inheriting it. 051 maps card wording onto the rules' own terms and 356.1.a says "If an ability or instruction allows you to play a card 'for [Cost]', replace the card's Base Costs with [Cost]." The pool supplies the contrast: SFD-150 Last Rites also plays a unit out of the trash and prints "(You still pay its costs.)"; OGN-006 and OGN-037 Immortal Phoenix, which prints the same "pay X to play me" shape, print no such clause. Under the additive reading Chompers from the trash would cost 3 Energy PLUS 1 Fury Power - strictly worse than playing it from hand - and both cards would be dead letter against rule 002. Same reading the catalogue already uses in flame-chompers-discard-recursion and death-from-below-recurring-kill. No reading is filed.
- 422.1.a IS WHY THE DISCARD IS AIMED: "The player who is performing the action chooses which cards to send to their Trash, and may use Private Information to do so." 422.1.b is why the Chompers trigger works from the trash: "'When I am discarded' abilities or other Triggered Abilities that trigger on discarding are executed after discarding has occurred." 355.2.a puts the body at your base OR a battlefield you control; 143.4 makes it enter exhausted.
- WHAT JINX, REBEL'S READY IS ACTUALLY WORTH, PRICED. 415.1 makes Readying "an action that marks a non-spell Game Object on the board as available for action". She has no [Ganking], so 144.4 gives her exactly two destinations - 144.4.a base to battlefield and 144.4.b battlefield to base - and 144.2 makes her own exhaust the whole cost of the Standard Move. So the FIRST ready of a turn is the valuable one: it lets her leave the base on the turn she landed, which 143.4 otherwise forbids. A second ready the same turn only sends her home. The entry claims no more than that.
- ONE TRIGGER PER DISCARD ACTION, NOT PER CARD. 422.5: "This action is formatted as 'Discard X.'" So a 'Discard 2' is one action and readies Jinx, Rebel once, not twice.
- ARITHMETIC WITH THE DECLARED QUANTITIES. Per cast, discarding a Flame Chompers: 2 Energy + 1 Power for the spell, then 1 Fury Power for the body. Out comes 3 damage, a 3 Might body, Jinx readied at 6 Might, and [Assault]/[Ganking] on Raging Soul for the turn. Discarding Rhasa or Baron Nashor instead: 2 Energy + 1 Power for 10 damage and no body. Three copies of the spell, so three of these a game.
- OVERLAP, DECLARED. flame-chompers-discard-recursion (#89) already pairs Chompers with OGN-003 / OGN-030 / OGN-252 under this same legend, and there the discard buys bodies. This is a different outlet with a different payoff - the discard becomes damage - and OGN-008, OGN-202 and OGN-019 appear in no entry. In one deck they are the same Chompers, so treat them as alternatives on that card, not a sum.
Steps
- Hold a Flame Chompers, or a Rhasa / Baron Nashor you can afford to spend, and play Get Excited! for 2 Energy + 1 Power. [Action] (806.1.c.1) means this also works inside a showdown on either player's turn.
- 'Discard 1': 422.1.a lets you choose the card. 206 makes the damage read its PRINTED Energy cost - 3 for Chompers, 10 for Rhasa or Baron Nashor.
- Deal that much to a unit at a battlefield.
- 422.1.b then executes the discard triggers. Flame Chompers is already in the trash when it says 'play me': pay 1 Fury Power and it enters at your base or a battlefield you control (355.2.a), exhausted (143.4).
- Jinx, Rebel readies and takes +1 Might for the turn (one trigger per 'Discard X' action, 422.5). Raging Soul has [Assault] and [Ganking] for the rest of the turn.
- Loose Cannon draws you back up at the start of your Beginning Phase whenever the line has emptied your hand.
Per iteration
one removal of 3 to 10 damage per copy of Get Excited!, plus a 3 Might body for 1 Fury Power whenever the discard can be a Flame Chompers
How it ends
engine only - three copies of Get Excited! in a deck (103.2.b), so three of these a game; nothing here returns the spell from the trash

HAND-WALKED 2026-09-06 (docs/phase0/walks/2026-09-06-discard-trash-lens.md), issue #95 candidate 1. HOLDS, AND BIGGER THAN THE ISSUE WROTE IT: the issue priced the damage at 3 (Chompers) and 6 (Brazen Buccaneer) and never opened 206, which makes the spell read the PRINTED cost - so the in-domain ceiling is 10, from OGN-195 Rhasa or UNL-147 Baron Nashor, and the same 206 is why Rhasa can be both this spell's ammunition and the trash-discount line's payoff. The walk also priced Jinx, Rebel's ready against 144.4 rather than asserting it is worth a move, and added OGN-019 Raging Soul, one of the five PLAYABLE discard payoffs the pool prints (the sixth, OGN-182 Scrapheap, is BANNED in constructed and 2v2). Card text verbatim from data/corpus_flat.txt. Citations opened: 002, 051, 103.1.b.1, 103.1.b.2, 103.2.b, 143.4, 144.2, 144.4, 144.4.a, 144.4.b, 206, 355.2.a, 356.1.a, 383.4.e, 415.1, 422.1.a, 422.1.b, 422.5, 806.1.c.1, 807.1.d. Ban check: none of the six carries a [BANNED marker. Trap check: no Attacker designation is claimed anywhere, so Raging Soul's [Assault] is not counted into any Might figure (807.1.d, 383.4.e); no [Repeat]; no [Temporary]; no token, so 185/186.1 never arise; no recall, so 808.1.d.1 is not engaged; no Gold; no battlefield of its own; every cost is a Main Phase cost, so 167 does not bite. Depends on no unruled reading.
