Temporal Stasis

Apologizes if this has been asked before, but a quick search on the forums and in the FAQ did not yield an answer.  If Nurgle has the Leper upgrade card, which reduces the power point cost to summon a leper to 0 if Nurgle has no figures in the region, what is the cost of summoning a Leper into a region in which Tzeentch has played Temporal Stasis - assuming Nurgle has no other figures there, of course?

This question come up for the first time a few days ago and we all agreed the cost would be two.  However, the more I thought about it the more it bothered me.  The upgrade card does not specify that the "printed" cost is reduced to 0, just that the cost is 0 - so an argument could be made that even if other effects increase the cost of playing a figure, the upgrade card still reduces it to 0.  I could not find a rule that says upgrade cards take precedence over chaos cards, so I was hoping my fellow FFG and Warhammer fans could help me out.

"D&D Characters Die Frequently.  If you and your players refuse to embrace this axiom, you fall prey to an invulnerability that renders all the dangers impotent.  You simply reenact plots knowing that the hero always survives and wins.  ::yawn::  But in accepting it you spring headlong into a world of thrills n chills where failure and death are ever-present possibilities, surmounted only by the now-classic resolution: create another heroic wannabe and try to do better."  -Frank Mentzer.

I believe Temporal Stasis says "...to this region" so I would say yes, it will cost you 2+0 = 2 power points to summon that unit. The upgrade card only reduces your general summoning cost of a cultist.

While there is no explicit rule, it seems Chaos Cards come first when it relates to effect in regions.

It seems that everything one does to earn a livelihood, to subsist,to enjoy life turns out to be illegal, immoral, fattening,- most disturbingly - carcinogenic
