<p>Currently the "Diary" horcrux is active which says "Each time a Hero plays an Ally, that Hero loses 1hp." </p>

<p>My hero is currently at 1hp and has an ally to play. That ally gives me a zap to use. When I play the ally and obtain the zap, do I get to use it against a villain or is it removed by me getting stunned? Our players are currently divided about the issue. </p>

If I play a card and playing that card stuns me, do I get to use the effect of the card still?
