Quick question and I just wanted to be sure about this
Can you use the False Ring of Fire to actually negate its honor loss if when getting it into play via the entry conditions? For example, I have 2 Farmer's Markets in play and my max hand size is 10. I then proceed to put it into play as an open action.
I wasn't sure but from the wording it looked like you could since the action of putting it in should technically qualify for it. If not, I was just curious about the technical reason for it (mainly because I'm just trying to iron out corner cases right now)
Cheers!
False Ring of Fire: Does not count towards an Enlightenment Victory. Open: If your maximum hand size is 10 or more, put this Ring into play and lose 2 Honor. Interrupt, [bow symbol]: Reduce all Honor gains and losses from an action by 2.

No, because the Interrupt on False Ring of Fire would need to be taken before the effects putting into play have begun to resolve.
