If Feint cancels a boosted attack, is the boost card still discarded?
The designer ruled twice that a cancelled boost is discarded; a later change for Excalibur is reported only second-hand.

Under the designer's rulings, yes: the boost is an effect, so Feint cancels it and the boost card is discarded without adding its value. A reported August 2025 publisher clarification changes this for Excalibur only, because Excalibur has no card effect to cancel, so its boost would still count. That change reached us only through forum posts, so check the current official clarification before play.
