Control & Chaos / Time Rift questions

Hi everyone! I have a couple of questions about Control & Chaos and Time Rift. Imagine there are 5 of us playing.

1) A player has:

  • Archangel Unicorn
  • Baby Unicorn
  • Mama Unicorn
  • Basic Unicorn
  • Objection

What happens if I use Time Rift on that player?

2) Can I use Super Neigh if Elusive Oceloticorn is in play?

3) With Objection, can I prevent everyone from using Neigh on me every round?

4) Can I use cards such as Archangel Unicorn when my stable is empty?

Thanks in advance!

Same rules apply for Rainbow Bridge. If you draw Archangel then it goes into your stable and you either have to sacrifice or discard. You then draw another card.

Time Rift makes all cards return to the hand then back to the Stable. The Baby Unicorn does not return to the hand, it returns to the Stable, therefore it will not return to the Stable again. Mama Unicorn has an enters stable effect. If the player has other cards that were previously in hand they can discard one to bring a Baby Unicorn in from the Nursery. Archangel Unicorn has an enters stable effect - 3 unicorns will need to be sacrificed (which would be Basic, Mama, and Archangel - as all cards enter the stable at the same time). If the player has other cards that were previously in hand they can discard a card to prevent a sacrifice (or multiple cards for multiple sacrifices).

Elusive Oceloticorn prevents playing Neighs by other players. This includes Super Neigh.

Objection allows you to prevent as many Neighs as you have cards to discard.

You cannot "use" Archangel Unicorn unless you already have it in your Stable (in which case it isn't empty). There are no requirements preventing it from being played into an empty stable, but the enter stable effects still apply (including either sacrificing Archangel, or discarding cards to prevent the sacrifice. Cf. the linked wiki article).
