Hmm, it looks like he must have done that in order to get the gold to cast Pillage? Maybe he was going to move my scavenging wisp, get a gold, cast pillage, steal a gold?
In that case, @hardy83 would have had extra gold, since he pirate-pillaged. He would have gotten your float and the scavenger gold. Though I see no way to get scav gold with Zane’s shove in that situation. He shoves to an empty spot (scav was not empty) then kills to get the bonus.
I think the better interpretation is that he cast Pillage before casting Mad Man. He still gets the big pillage from Taxman. He spends 1 and then immediately makes it back (“casting for free with your gold”), and the rest of his turn remains the same. I could see him easily deciding to do this at the end of the turn, but lazily (no criticism implied) not wanting to re-arrange the text in the spreadsheet, since it’s casual.
i actually had some thoughts on Zane’s maxband ability i thought about maxxing zane before going for Arg, so I wouldn’t need a Mad Man… the problem was that i couldn’t summon another hero for the two free levels… but then I really completely forgot about Zane’s maxband - I think i just ignored the two Wisps because they are not highlighted by the AutocardComplete plugin… my bad
