= Strategy =
For a [[Choke]] card, Deft is somewhat harder to use effectively compared to other {{C|Shire}} choke entries like {{Card|A Talent for Not Being Seen}} and {{Card|Bill the Pony}}.  Due to the "snapshot" ruling on how it works (see below), it only affects sites which are in play at the time it is played. 


Since it is a [[Regroup Phase]] event, this means that on its own it only has any effect if you are behind on the site path. which is not a position a choke deck wants to be in.  Choke does not want to double; the point is to avoid adding [[Twilight]], after all.


It can however be comboed with cards that pathfind the next site during the regroup phase, such as {{Card|Thror's Map}} or {{Card|Get On and Get Away}}.  The card also stacks with itself, so it can self-combo if you have multiple copies to ''really'' crank up the choke level.

= Rules and Clarifications =


= Rulings =
From the Comprehensive Rules 4.0:
Some event cards affect only cards that are currently in play, even though their effects might seem to apply to cards played later in the same turn. These events take a “snapshot” of the current game state, and only those cards are affected.


This card is affected by the aptly-named "snapshot rule", which means that only cards which were in play at the moment the event was played get effected; the event takes a "snapshot" of the game state and does not update it when cards are later played.
* This means that Deft in Their Movements affects only sites that are in play when it is played.
