Hi folks, I just started looking through cards last night, so forgive me if these have been answered (I did search, but found nothing). 1. Is there an actual "Pearl Strategy" card, or do mentions of "Pearl Strategy" and "Pearl Strategies" only refer to the one strategy card with the Pearl keyword, Magnify? When a card like Jhara creates a Pearl Strategy, how is that denoted since there's not a card for it in SnM? 2. The Akasha seem to have a lot of Experienced and XP2 personalities that do not have the Unique keyword - is that intentional, and am I allowed to have multiple copies of, say, Shahadet XP3 or Balash XP2?

Messages from the Onyx Lives #rules-questions Discord channel, copied for Oracle of the Void. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings and the rulebooks may differ.
Oh, and lastly, are there any repositories of Onyx decklists available? Tournament or just everyday lists?
1) Strategies with the Pearl keyword 2) Yes, that's a new thing from Ivory Edition non-Unique Experienced Personalities.
Thanks. So am I correct that there's only the one Pearl strategy card right now? And what about the created Pearl Strategies?
created Pearl Strategies are basically strategy token cards with the Pearl keyword
as for decklists, each of the Onyx tournament channels in the SnM server has the top 4
I also have a server for l5r onyx and legacy stuff if you are interested
What kind of stuff is on the server? Like documents? Decklists?
Decklist and theory crafting for each clan
I'm absolutely interested
One other question - are people commonly fishing for Legacy holdings? Like, is that something most decks do, or very few?
It is a common practice
ensuring decent gold on your early turns is a must and very important tech
I sent you a dm
So currently the Mantis clan people are unaligned, once the stronghold is released will they officially cost +2 out of clan?
lol
I'm guessing not in the current tournament, and the currently printed as Unaligned Kitsune, Tsuruchi and Moshi personalities will stay Unaligned
I mean after they are released
the stronghold
because at the moment they are unaligned
lol
yeah they will be having thix tax
NOOOOOOoooooo
fail
lol
;D
what You was planing to do?
keep playing mantis without tax... duh
lol
we all know they aren't a real clan anyway
The Mantis become a playable Clan in ShE, so for the purposes of Onyx any Mantis bugged Personalities are still considered Unaligned. Any “Mantis” that are Unaligned stay that way
oh
You mean i still can play Yoritomo and Hiromi?
and not pay /additional/ 2 gold even after this set goes live?
In Onyx, yes. In ShE, they cycle out and aren’t legal anymore
I am talking about the ones with the mantis clan not the ones that have no mantis clan printings. ala gthe Gusai, etc
i think You can acording what said a player
That... makes no sense lol
in She its sure think
The only mantis clan personalities are the ones with the mantis clan mon by the name.
yeah and we mean thous!
In Onyx, if they have a Mantis Clan mon, they cost what’s printed for everyone. In ShE, non-Mantis players pay +2G for Mantis Clan Personalities
BOOOOOOOoooooo I want to continue playing mantis clan personalities for cheap without using mantis sh
You mean you want to play Kitsune personalities, Nue 😉
Kitsune personalities wouldn’t be counted in that.
They’d still be unaligned.
Most (not all) have the mantis mon
The ones with the mantis mon aren’t white bugged.
I get what you are saying
I also think Nue wanted more zoo creatures for "cheap"
lol, I mean... I absolutely do... but also with my current deck I am trying to do there was a juicy mantis preview that would really help out lol
that makes paying action costs cheaper
Namely...

would be cool to have a holding that functions with getting extra gold production for action costs
so, can Ejiro reduce the cost on a card that already has no cost?
Nope.
lol dishonor meta GO lol
wait wait wait... thats interesting.
If I play Consumed by Darkness, and react with Ejiro... do I or my opponent lose the honor?
from his ability.
the player who controls or is the target... its targeting the opponent's card in a province
Or, if I betrayed from within, and target my opponent's personality, they lose an honor?
If that's the only target, no loss to anyone; cards in Provinces aren't controlled.
Yep. Dead guy and an Honor loss; insult to injury.
lol
Question Regarding Reckless Zeal: is RESPONSE different from Interrupt?
Yes. Response is played AFTER an ability is resolved, and Interrupt is played when an ability is announced.
Okay, so in a sense, Response is an action?
in what sense are you asking? Responses and Interrupts are actions, just like anything labelled Open, Dynasty, or Battle
but neither Responses nor Interrupts can be Responded to or Interrupted
So a response is played in a window after the action being responded to is played?
after that action has fully resolved, yes
After the triggering condition, no?
No, Responses don't "trigger" like Reactions or traits. Like Interrupts, you can Respond to any action, but the effects are dependent upon the action you're Responding to.
I mean that they are played following a triggering condition
Yes, that's what I took you to mean, and no, they aren't. They are played after the action to which they're Responding resolves. The "Response" window occurs for every non-Interrupt/non-Response just after it resolves, just as the Interrupt window occurs just before any such action resolves.
So, the Action Sequence is now: A. Announce, B. Pay Costs, C. Choose Targets, D. Play Interrupts, E. Resolve the action, F. Play Responses.
Thank you for this clarification.
