Hello, i am relatively new to the game and i'm still learning most of the basics.
One of the aspects i cant find explained is how conditions work regarding its mana cost to discard.
It is explained in the book rules that in order to discard a specific condition one must pay the number in grey area at the bottom of the token. My question is when is this to occour?
I mean burn for example, during the upkeep we roll 1 die, 0 we remove it, 1 or 2 we take the dmg acording to the number rolled. In grey area its a 2, so i assume that when we roll a 0 we pay 2 mana and the token is out. So what if u dont have the money to pay? Or does this number means that if you want at anytime u pay 2 mana to remove the token? Other tokens like stun have a remove cost of 4, and it says to remove it after Acting. So why would anyone pay 4 mana if right after it is removed with no cost? Or does the 4 mana cost is mandatory to be removed after acting? Other conditions like weak dont have a remove situation at all. Just have a remove cost of 2, so i assume i have to remove the condition with spells? Or like i mentioned before the player pay at anytime to remove the token and just pay 2 mana? Please give me some clearings on this. Thanks in advance!
