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.
A player, 10 October 2007
First off, let me appologize if this has been asked before (as I can only imagine that it has been) but I couldn't find it anywhere.
One of our Crab players wanted to know if you could prevent the death that was delayed through Razor of the Dawn Castle with Yasuki Jinn-Kuen. The specific example follows:
Player A: Hired Killer Hida Bob (Hero). Player B: Uses Razor of the Dawn Castle to Prevent the Death Player B: Yasuki Jinn-Kuen Political Open to negate the destruction of the next death caused by another players card effect. ... turn ends.
Razor of the Dawn Castle Before another player's card's effect destroys one of your Samurai: Once per turn, you may delay the destruction until the current turn ends.
Yasuki Jinn-Kuen Political Open: Target one of your Hero Personalities. Before the next time this turn another player's card effect would destroy him, negate the destruction, move him home, and bow him.
Thanks for your time and your speedy response.
For the Lion!

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62504 also applies here. The source of the destruction is not changing, simply being delayed until a later point.
