I was playing a game with docx the other day and I had question.

Specific Team-up cards like Common Enemy have 2 effects on them, 1 non-ongoing(Draw a card) and then the ongoing team-up modifier.

It would seem to me that Generic team-ups also have 2 effects, "Choose two team affiliations...", which is a non-ongoing effect, and then the Ongoing modifier.

My understanding is that the "Choose two..." effect must resolve before the Ongoing modifier is in effect on the generic team-ups.

It is also my understanding that you can use Fizzle to negate the "Draw a card" portion of a specific team-up.

Given that, wouldn't it also be true that you can use Fizzle to negate the "Choose two..." effect on the generic team-ups?

Fizzle cannot target any effect generated by a plot twist with the ongoing symbol on it.

Read the card this way and it becomes clear:

"Negate target non-ongoing plot twist effect."

Edit:

Here's the relevant portion of the DC Origins FAQ.

Hmm, ok. I didn't realize that was talking about the card itself, I thought it referred to the part after the "Ongoing:"

It is confusing but the key is that there's no such thing as an ongoing effect.
