Subrule · Chapter 1
cr:1.13.2b
A player cannot gain action points if it is not their action phase. If a player would gain an action point from a rule or effect but it is not their action phase, instead they do not gain any action points.
Example: Lead the Charge has the text “The next time you play an action card with cost 0 or greater this turn, gain 1 action point. Go again.” If a non-turn-player played (as an instant) Lead the Charge (red), they would not gain an action point from the ability “go again.” If they then played an action card with cost 0 (as an instant), they would not gain an action point from the delayed-triggered effect of Lead the Charge.
