Can Ionic Gas be played after compensation has already been collected?
A designer gave a reading of the card text, but not a firm ruling, and other players disagree.

Probably yes, as written. A designer argues that Ionic Gas can be played during the Resolution timing window, even as compensation is being taken, and that it only prevents compensation and rewards not yet collected. He says he is not recommending that reading, and other players read "all" as meaning it must be played before anything is collected, so the card's intent is disputed.
