"Marked" status effect doesn't work as worded

[Orthopraxis]

The verbiage in game for Marked, is:

"For the next X turn/s, refunds a Card Play when KO'd. (Max 1 per Ability)"

However in my experience, this is only true if the KO resulted FROM a Card Play. In other words if you use a card to Mark, then use Heroism to kill them with terrain, or use a Move -> knockback to kill them by knocking them into something, it doesn't refund a card play.

Consider this a PSA - would love to see either this get fixed (which would make Marked far more interesting to use...) or see the wording corrected.

The word "refund" is doing the heavy lifting.

Refund usually is a reversal of something that is spent. You can't refund a free product for example.

Hmm - yeah ok, that makes sense. Clarifying the language there might a quality of life improvement then, but you are right - refund definitely implies you need to spend a card play first to get one back.

I still think most people look at "refund" and think at the very least if they have previously spent that card play, at any point during that turn, and the marked mob is killed by some other source, then they should get that play refunded. That is after all how refunds usually work. It's not like I buy something from costco and go back to get my refund before I'm done ringing out. I take it home, abuse it for a month and then bring it back to get refunded what I spent so long ago. Clearly, you are right in how this works here...it just shouldn't be that way imo. It makes certain cards that add mark pretty useless in most circumstances and makes mark something I really only use from consumable items.
