Sableye SF's poke-body Overeager makes you go first.
Its Impersonate attack says find a supporter, discard it and use its power.
So, does that mean you can use Impersonate and hence a supporter on Turn 1, even though you're going first?
Thanks.
 
The game action of playing a Supporter card from your hand is what is forbidden on the starting player's first turn.

When you use Impersonate, you have begun the attack phase of your turn, too late to play a Supporter normally. When you discard a Supporter from your deck, you're fulfilling the requirements of the attack, not actually playing the Supporter, so yes, you can Impersonate if you go first.
