A player, 6 March 2008
I apologize if this is asked and answered because I notice someone just updated the glossary entry for "gold cost" last week.
1. I buy my Hida Koun (exp 5), gold cost 15 using a supply outpost AND Glory of the shogun is in play. I attach an Iron Tesubo (paying the additional two gold). Do I get to draw a card?
2. If yes to #1, in the same scenerio, but I attach a ceremonial armor for free with the outpost, do I get to draw a card?
Shogun says "after it attaches" so it would seem that both q's would have yes answers, according to the first section of the rules entry for "gold cost," but I am, in fact, stupid, and it may check the transitional gold cost when attaching and the card draw is the 'after' effect that is triggered. Thanks in advance. All pertinent card info below.
Supply outpost: Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold. If this pays for a Personality, you may attach a Follower, Item, or Spell to him from your hand after he enters in play, reducing its Gold cost by 3 until it attaches.
Glory of the Shogun: Equipping attachments is a Battle/Open action for all players. After the first time each turn each player attaches a card with a Gold Cost of 5 or greater from his hand, he may draw a card. These effects last until the end of the game.
Ceremonial armor: Attaches to a Personality with a Gold Cost of 9 or greater for 4 less Gold.

Following the current glossary entry (http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_G), Glory of the Shogun looks for the stat, not the amount paid. Changing the Gold cost (lowercase cost = temporary) does not change the Gold Cost (uppercase Cost = stat).
