Accelerate

Accelerate is a Unit ability.

It is functionally short for "As you play me, you may pay 1[C] as an additional cost. If you do, I enter ready."

The [C] cost always matches the domain of the unit.

It is an Optional Additional Cost to be paid as a player plays the unit with the ability.

Accelerate costs cannot be paid while the unit is on the board, only as part of the steps of playing a card.

Accelerate has no function while on the board.

Multiple instances of Accelerate are redundant.

Accelerate influences the state of the unit entering the Board; it does not enter exhausted and then become ready.

Accelerate will not interact with, or trigger, abilities that are affected by units becoming ready.

Accelerate, and whether or not a unit has Accelerate, is a characteristic of the Unit and may be checked or referenced by other Game Effects.
