Hi,
Can I use Akodo Anshiro's (exp) ability if he's not at the current battlefield?
Elemental Battle: Discard a Tactical or Ring card: Target a Personality, or up to two if you discarded a Ring. Move the targets to the current battlefield.
Akodo Anshiro exp
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.

Lotus rules, pg. 51: "Rule of Presence... is satisfied if either:
"• The player already controls a unit at the current battlefield" Maybe, maybe not.
"• The Battle or Open action he wants to use will result in him controlling a unit there, unconditionally." That works, so we're halfway there.
"Rule of Relevance. The action must:
"• Come from, target, affect, play, or create a card or token at the current battlefield or attached to the current Province(.)" No.
"• Target or affect the current Province itself(.)" No.
"• Move a card or token into the current battlefield or onto to the current Province." Yes.
