The Book of Ataraxis the Starlich

This can result in an effect not happening. In the situation you describe, where the hero that would respawn Ataraxis is killed by pounce, the roll off would determine if the Wolf is destroyed instead of being placed there, or if Ataraxis is effectively removed from the game entirely by the wolf being placed first. If you are the player controlling both Ataraxis and the Wolves of Badru, you can choose which effect you want to have happen first, instead of rolling for it. If you are in a tournament setting, you should ask a TO if they want you to roll off anyway, but generally if you control the figures who's effects are happening at the same time, you get to choose which one goes first.
@Scytale , please correct me if I am wrong here.

R&Cs covering cases like these are going through final approval in the Rules Team.

The C3V Rules Team would like to add the following R&Cs:

Q: If Ataraxis is on a Unique Hero's Army Card, and that Unique Hero is killed by a Zombie of Morrindan, what happens first, Zombies Rise Again, or the resurrection from Nanobot Soul Cage?
A: If the Zombie and Ataraxis are owned by different players, the two players roll off to see which effect activates first, the placement from Zombies Rise Again or the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage. If the Zombie and Ataraxis are owned by the same player, the owner decides the order of operations. If the placement from Zombies Rise Again happens first, Ataraxis cannot be placed and remains on the destroyed Hero's card. If the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage happens first, Ataraxis is placed and no Zombie is placed.

Q: If Ataraxis is on a Unique Hero's Army Card, and that Unique Hero also has an Ebon Armor on its Army Card, when that Unique Hero dies what happens first the resurrection from Eternal War or the resurrection from Nanobot Soul Cage?
A: Ataraxis is placed first due to "immediately" in Nanobot Soul Cage. The Ebon Armor is not placed.

Q: What happens when a Wolf of Badru uses Pounce Special Attack to kill a Hero holding Ataraxis's Nanobot Soul Cage?
A: If the Wolf and Ataraxis are owned by different players, the two players roll off to see which effect activates first, the placement from the Pounce or the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage. If the Wolf and Ataraxis are owned by the same player, the owner decides the order of operations. If the placement from the Pounce happens first, Ataraxis cannot be placed and remains on the destroyed Hero's card. If the placement from Nanobot Soul Cage happens first, Ataraxis is placed and the Wolf does not move because there is no legal placement. (The Wolf is not destroyed because the target Hero was successfully destroyed.)

Q: If Ataraxis is on a Unique Hero's Army Card due to Nanobot Soul Cage, and that Unique Hero dies from something other than a normal attack, special attack, or leaving engagement attack, or Ataraxis cannot be placed, what happens to Ataraxis?
A: Ataraxis remains on that Unique Hero's Army Card. If that Unique Hero is resurrected, Ataraxis may replace the figure the next time it dies.

Q: If Ataraxis is hit by Shurrak is dies due to falling damage from Knockback, can Nanobot Soul Cage be used?
A: No. The damage is due to the fall, not from the attack or special attack.

Q: Can Ataraxis be revived by the Glyph of Sturla while on the Army Card of a Unique Hero?
A: Yes. Ataraxis is destroyed and can be revived normally. Obviously Nanobot Soul Cage cannot be used to return Ataraxis to the battlefield afterward because she is already on the battlefield.

Q: If Ataraxis is on Kursus's Army Card, and Kursus dies when using Sonic Fists Special Attack, can Ataraxis be placed on the map?
A: Yes, in Kursus's original position. Kursus died due to his own special attack, so Ataraxis is placed on the last space Kursus occupied.
