Glory of the Shogun and gold costs

L5R CCG Rules board, 7 March 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.

here: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=65192&p=837974&hilit=glory+of+the+shogun#p837974 Zen says Glory of the Shogun looks at the cost paid, not the actual cost.

here: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=66224 he says its just the gold cost printed on the card, regardless of what you pay.

which is correct?

The more recent one. I previously missed the subtle distinction between Gold cost and Gold Cost that the glossary now makes.
