In Gates of Arkham, when do At Midnight effects on a card with a gate or a back-of-card time cost resolve?
Posters quote the Gates rules on timing, and no rulebook text in the repo covers this case.

They still trigger. Midnight is checked only in the Clock phase, so the front-of-card effect waits until then, and a gate marker or a face-down card does not stop it.
