That makes perfect sense, and thank you for clarifying!

Similar to the wording on Sacrifice TTC where a target is not allowed to add or modify defense dice, the new Montesi Spellbook indicates the same for attack dice. The ruling below suggests that defense dice can still be added to a defense pool provided the dice were added by the ability of another character that is not the new target for Sacrifice. Will similar logic apply to the new Montesi Spellbook if, for example, Baron Mordo used Ferocity of Cyttorak to add attack dice to another character's attack while using that spellbook?

Additionally, once the flare token is placed the card text states to put the Howling Commandos into play during the next Cleanup phase. Does this occur in step 2, resolve player effects step, and if so are they considered at all when determining which player will have priority in the next turn based on who completed their activations first?

Does this also mean that since the Howling Commandos are not able to activate, they will not be considered when it comes time to determine who will have priority next turn based on which player completed their activations first?

While Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos are not on the battlefield due to Infiltration, can they be affected by and/or contribute to allied tactics cards such as gaining power from Advanced R&D or spending power on Helios Laser Bombardment?

How would this work for reactive superpowers that can boost defensive dice such as Cable’s Telekinetic Shield? The wording on that superpower states it can be used if he or an ally ‘is targeted by an attack’, but since the target was already declared for the initial Red Fury attack can superpowers like that also be used for the follow up Assault Rifle attack?

The bottom portion of the Sacrifice text uses 'It' to identify the new attack target, and uses it again when stating 'It cannot add additional defense dice to its defense roll and cannot modify its dice during this attack.' It has already been ruled that this wording does not prevent other characters such as Cable and/or Dr Strange from adding dice to the new target's defense pool, provided they themselves are not the new target, so does this also mean that the new target is allowed to reroll defense dice if the source of the reroll originates from another character as well, such as Zemo or Shuri?
