Vex, Apathetic
Unofficial Riftbound rulings for Vex, Apathetic, with rules explanations, examples, and Core Rules citations.
Does Vex, Apathetic's triggered ability target the unit that was just played?
No. Vex's trigger condition identifies the unit that was just played, and the later word "it" refers back to that information. Vex's controller never chooses among units, so the unit is not a target.
An ability that prevents enemy spells or abilities from choosing the unit therefore does not stop Vex from stunning it. Deflect also adds no cost because Vex's ability does not choose the unit.
Can I move an opponent's unit after Vex, Apathetic says they can't move it?
Yes, you can move the unit because Vex prevents the opponent identified by its trigger from moving it that turn, not every player. Vex's trigger condition identifies both the opponent who played the unit and the unit itself, so the later words "they" and "it" refer back to that information.
Charm, Void Assault, and Moonfall each instruct you to move an enemy unit. The player who performs a game action is responsible for it, even when another player controls the affected unit. In each case, you perform the move, not the opponent who controls the unit, so Vex's restriction does not apply.
