A player, 4 March 2014
Okay, so there is a bit of an argument brewing about how The Final Sacrifice works in conjunction with Unsettling Gathering, so I'm setting about to get the final word on the matter to end the issue once and for all.
So, say I have 2 shugenja, one with nothing attached and one with Justice of the Crane and a Yojimbo of Earth Follower, and a Yojimbo Personality in play. My opponent plays Unsettling Gathering.
1. They announce Unsettling Gathering. 2. Pay 4g. 3. I interrupt and play The Final Sacrifice and target a Yojimbo 4. Resolution of effects.
The question(s) is basically as follows
1. If I target my Yojimbo Personality with The Final Sacrifice, can my opponent target any attachment for which 4g covers (in this case Justice of the Crane) but be required to attach it to the Yojimbo personality I targeted with The Final Sacrifice, or does The Final Sacrifice fail to do anything since I didn't target the Yojimbo of Earth Follower with it?

Unsettling Gathering targets both a Personality and an attachment. If you play Final Sacrifice forcing targeting to a Yojimbo personality, he must be the Personality targeted to receive the attachment. If you play Final Sacrifice targeting the Yojimbo follower, the Yojimbo follower must be the follower targeted.
