Wonder Woman vs Anti-Monitor

[jackalopespam]

SR Wonder Woman

When fielded, spin target character die to an energy face, and you may deal 2 damage to target character die.
While Wonder Woman is active, ignore opposing "When fielded" and "When attacks" abilities.

U Anti-Monitor

Intimidate
When fielded, reroll target character die.

Wonder Woman would prevent Anti-Monitor's when fielded ability, but not the Intimidate, since it's a keyword. However, what happens if you field Anti-Monitor and use Intimidate ability on Wonder Woman? Can he then use his when fielded ability since Wonder Woman is no longer active? Or since she was active when he was fielded, has she already ignored the text of his when fielded ability thus preventing its use?

It would be your second outcome.

This situation points out how the game state affects abilities in the queue.

Abilities are triggered based on the game state when they entered the queue. If an ability alters the game state, this new game state does not affect the resolution of subsequent abilities already in the queue. See the following ruling for precedent.

Wonder Woman’s “while active” ability is setting the game state, which would ignore Anti-Monitor’s “when fielded” effect. However, her ability does not affect the keyword ability (as you pointed out).

When Anti-Monitor is fielded, both of his effects (the “when fielded” and keyword abilities) occur immediately. The Active player can choose the order of entry into the queue for these two effects. Let’s assume the order is Intimidate followed the “when fielded” ability.

While Intimidate could remove Wonder Woman from the Field Zone, the game state when Anti-Monitor’s abilities entered the queue would not be altered. The application of Anti-Monitor’s “when fielded” ability is still resolved under this game state, which ignores this ability.

Once Wonder Woman is Intimidated out of the Field Zone, you could field and now trigger another Character die with a “when fielded” effect.
