cr:1.8.2

If the abilities of an object directly generate an effect, the object is considered an object with that effect. This includes optional and conditional effects.

Example: Chain Lightning has the text “If you’ve played another Wizard non-attack action card this turn, deal 3 arcane damage to each opposing hero.” Because the ability generates a deal (damage) effect, Chain Lightning is considered a card with an effect that deals 3 arcane damage, even though it is conditional.

Example: Blazing Aether has the text “Deal X arcane damage to target hero.” Because the ability generates a deal (damage) effect, Blazing Aether is considered a card with an effect that deals X arcane damage, where X is 0 until the card resolves and X is defined.

Example: Clash of Might has the text “When this defends, clash with the attacking hero.” Because the ability generates a clash effect, Clash of Might is considered a card with clash.

Example: Thunk has the text “When you win a clash revealing this, create a Might token.” Because the ability does not generate a clash effect, Thunk is not considered a card with clash.
