What happens when I discard a Patched Porobot with Hwei, Brooding Painter's move trigger?
Two reflexive triggers go on the chain in the order of your choosing: one giving Hwei +3 Might this turn, one readying up to 2 runes. Unlike earlier templates that say "do one of the following" (cf. Twisted Fate, Gambler), Hwei says "do the following based on the discarded card's type" — every type the card has puts its corresponding trigger on the chain.
