If you play a card onto a card with a when-covered effect such as Fire 0, can that effect flip the incoming card, and when does the incoming card land?
The designer confirmed the committed-card order for Fire 0 in several posts and overturned an earlier walkthrough that had Fire 0 flip the incoming card.
No. The incoming card is committed while the when-covered effect resolves, so that effect cannot flip it or otherwise target it. The effect resolves first, then the committed card lands and covers the card beneath, and only afterwards does its own middle command trigger. The same applies when Life 0 plays a face-down card onto Fire 0.
