A player, 11 August 2008
Hi,
My opponent has played "Blanketed forest" (Winter Terrain Battle: The snow blocks travel, negating units' movement to or from this battlefield.)
During the battle, I play "Wolf's little lesson" (Battle: Target one of your unbowed Crab Clan Samurai, or an unbowed Personality you targeted this turn with Torch's Flame Flickers: Until this battle ends, negate the effects of other players' terrains on your Personalities at the current battlefield.) with a crab samurai.
May my personnalities move later during the battle...?
Wolf's LL negate effect on my personnalities from the battlefield, but what about moving costs and effects concerning my personnalities...?
Thanks.
P.S. As a good french my english is quite bad, sorry about that... I hope it's understandable.

When an effect or a cost would move a unit to or from the current battlefield, Blanketed Forest negates that effect or cost. Wolf's Little Lesson will negate that negation, but only for your Personalities at the current battlefield. Your Personalities at the current battlefield will be able to move (home or to another battlefield) either as an effect or to pay a cost, but your Personalities not at the current battlefield cannot move to it.
