In regards to the gempukku personalities introduced in Honor's Veil, the text "Once per game, before _____ enters play..." refers only to that copy of the card, not to all copies of the card in your deck, correct?
For example, if I bring my first Doji Tsubakita into play choosing Courtier as his keyword on turn 3, may I then bring another Tsubakita into play on turn 5 choosing Samurai as his keyword?
For the above example...
Doji Tsubakita: Once per game, before Tsubakita enters play: He goes through his Gempukku. Permanently give him Samurai or Courtier.
Thank you.
