Daidoji Gensai (IE Rules)

L5R CCG Rules board, 15 December 2013

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Home Battle: If Gensai would be opposed, move him to the current battlefield. After he moves, you may discard a card to make a Ranged Attack with strength equal to the card's Focus Value.

Under Ivory rules, do you have to have presence at the battlefield to use Gensai's battle ability? Cheers.

Yes. The exceptions to the Rules of Presence and Location are going away with Ivory Edition, being replaced by the rules for the Absent and Home keywords.
