Ruins of the Draoife Works in the Cooldown Pile?

El_Borracho · August 20

"Gain 1 power when an agent is placed in your cooldown pile." Opponent had 4 agents up, he played the Ruins card, ended his turn with the 4 agents still up, and the Ruins card went from the discard to the cooldown pile. On my next turn I hit him with the Saint's Wrath, and sent all of his agents to the cooldown pile. He then got 4 power from Ruins for those 4 agents being sent to the cooldown pile.

Is this how Ruins works? Compared to Druid King Vestments, which has a similar condition of "Gain 1 power when any card is placed in your cooldown," once Druid King goes from the discard pile to the cooldown pile, it no longer generates power.

I've always thought this card was garbage or meant as a combo bridge for the Druid patron or an agent. Granted, this takes a lot of agents and relies heavily on timing, but it still seems like this is not how this card should operate when compared to Druid King.

Do you remember what were the 4 agents that were placed in your opponent's cooldown pile?

Edit: the Ruin says "While in play" just like the Druid King Vestment. So, it should not behave differently.

Yes, 2 Soldier of the Empires, 1 Alessian Rebel, and 1 Firesong Haruspex. It was definitely 4 power, too, not prestige as it made the noise and I immediately wondered "How did this guy just get 4 power?" and stopped playing to double check the cards in his cooldown. Only card that in the cooldown that could generate 4 power was Ruin

This isn't how the card should work. I'll do some testing later.
