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.

I apologize if this is old news to most, all I need is the link if it is. My best searches pulled up 3 pages of East Hub Village + Ring of Water info, and nothing I could use. Under SE rules, if you use the Ring of the Phoenix as a limited action to kill Houhou to bring Asako Keiki into play (for example...) do you pay 7g for Keiki or 0 gold?

Thanks.

http://rules.l5r.com/Costs_and_restrictions: "The mandatory costs of a card entering play are its Gold Cost (if any) and any other costs for entering play listed in its traits. Costs are mandatory by default."

"The Gold cost of any non-Action card type, found in the gold coin symbol, is a cost for it to enter play under any circumstance."
