Seiden Sanzo and Hida Daizu Again

L5R CCG Rules board, 18 July 2007

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.

I realize that each destruction is separate, however, this was not my question. My question related more to the timing of effects; since everything apparently happens at the same time in this scenario, could I, as the active player, choose to have the first Seiden Sanzo destroy Daizu, then have the second Seiden Sanzo destroy him again (while he's still dead), and then have his trait trigger and bring him back into play? Or does he have to come back immediately after the first Seiden Sanzo destroys him?

(C)ould I, as the active player, choose to have the first Seiden Sanzo destroy Daizu, then have the second Seiden Sanzo destroy him again (while he's still dead), and then have his trait trigger and bring him back into play?

No. One destruction effect occurs. Daizu's trait resolves before the next identical effect resolves.
