Fortified Camp

L5R CCG Rules board, 16 June 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.

Alright so I thought of this randomly while tuning my BRT Military deck.

When someone kills one of my created yojimbo followers am I able to react with Fortified camp and attach them back to anyone for free since they have 0 gold cost? And I guess this would also apply to Benika, Orito, Dayu and so on.

Thanks in advance.

No, sorry. Fortified Camp reacts "after" the destruction. After destruction, there is no Yojimbo in the game anymore to (re)attach (emphasis mine below):

http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_D#Destroy "When a card in play is destroyed, it leaves play, and enters its appropriate discard pile, or leaves the game if it was a created card."

Because:

http://rules.l5r.com/Timing: "Timing "when" a trigger occurs comes later than "before" but prior to "after" the trigger."

and

http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_C#Created_cards: "Created cards cannot exist out of play."
