A question/challenge regarding PSCT

[Whimsical]

So I've been wondering if this PSCT puzzle I've thought of is solvable.

 

Given an effect that has 4 parts: A,B,C,D. (They can be any actions you want, but the solution should not depend on the selected actions. Destroying, drawing, and so on).

Write two effects, given the following parameters.

 

For effect 1, write the effect such that

A does not require anything

B only requires A

C only requires A

D only requires A and C

A happens at the same time as B

C happens after A and B

D happens at the same time as C

 

For effect 2, write the effect such that

A does not require anything

B only requires A

C requires only A and B

D requires A, B, and C

A happens at the same time as B

C happens after A and B

D happens at the same time as C

 

These effects should be unambiguous, a careful reading should make it clear which of the two effect structures is being used. Finally, the solution should work no matter what A,B,C, or D, actually do.

Once per turn: You can draw 1 card, and if you do, draw 2 cards, also, after that, draw 3 cards, and if you do, draw 4 cards.

That doesn't really work

A also, after that B

Means that A doesn't require B and B doesn't require A.

 

Edit: Might have jumped to conclusions there.

Means that A doesn't require B and B doesn't require A.

 

To proceed to C, you must attempt B. To attempt B, you must do A.

 

As such, C requires A, but does not require B.

To proceed to C, you must attempt B. To attempt B, you must do A.

 

As such, C requires A, but does not require B.

 

Ok, though at its hard this is a question of ambiguity, so how would you write a version where C happens after A/B but does not require either of them.

Assuming that:

A does not require anything; and

B only requires A.

 

Once per turn: You can draw 1 card, and if you do, draw 2 cards, also, after any of these, draw 3 cards.

 

"Also, after any of these" does not appear in any existing TCG card. I combined "also, after that" with Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon's "and if you do any of these."

 

Assuming that:

A does not require anything; and

B does not require anything.

 

Once per turn: You can draw 1 card, also draw 2 cards, also, after that, draw 3 cards.

 

Edit: I misread and thought you were asking for a new effect instead of another version of effect 1, but the above should be fine. Also, you're welcome! ^^;

Not bad, "also, after any of these" actually sounds really good, so thank you.
