Yogo, Otomo Sensei, Hantei

L5R CCG Rules board, 14 February 2008

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, 14 February 2008

Yogo (Experienced) Scorpion Clan Fire Shugenja • Disciple of the Kami • Accursed • Experienced Asako Yogo • Unique Limited: Once per turn, target a Personality with less Chi than Yogo. Straighten the Personality. Battle: Shuffle Yogo into your deck from the current battle: Search your Provinces and deck for any number of Personalities with a total Gold cost less than Yogo's. Bring them into play in your army, ignoring costs.

Otomo Sensei All Clans. Sensei All cards that would go to your discard pile are instead permanently discarded from play. Reaction: When a player searches for and gets a card from his or her deck or discard pile, discard from play a card from your hand to discard the player's card from play.(Signed by Luke Peterschmidt)

Hantei Unaligned Kami. First Emperor. Samurai. Courtier. Cavalry. Double Chi. Naval. Tactician. Unique Will not enter play unless a Kami Personality is in play. Reduce the Gold cost of cards attaching to Hantei to 0. Reaction: After a Political Action is taken: cancel it. Limited: Once per turn, target a non-Kami Personality. Gain permanent control of the target.

Walking the Way Limited: Bow this Shugenja and destroy this card: Search your Fate deck for a card. Put it in your hand.

1. Does Yogo's Battle ability bring personalities into play simultaneously or one at a time? If I search for a Kami personality and Hantei, will Hantei enter play?

2 When I search for personalities, does a player using Otomo Sensei see the cards I searched for before he can choose to react using the sensei (or does he react blindly, not knowing cards he is removing from the game until after taking the reaction)? How about in the case of Walking the Way?

3. In the case of multiple personalities being searched by Yogo's ability, does the search happen one at a time or simultaneously?
