Drawing take 2

L5R CCG Rules board, 29 August 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.

It is not a sick combo we are just having hard discusion which stardet with Dragon clan stronghold Tetsu Kama Mura and ended in discusion about naming what is drawing and what is not.

In my oppinion you just can't reverse definition of drawing Drawing = to put the top card into your hand but you can't reverse "to put the card into your hand = draw

just like you just can't reverse any definition for example Apple is a fruit but you can't say that all fruits = apple

Looking at the top x cards and taking/putting one into your hand is not drawing. Searching your deck for a card and putting it into your hand is not drawing.

Tetsu Kama Mura allows you to draw from the bottom of your deck instead of the top any time you draw a card. This trait is optional.

Is there a specific interaction you are wondering about?
