The Final Wave condition

L5R CCG Rules board, 22 September 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.

Title The Final Wave Text Limited: If you have no cards in either your Fate or Dynasty deck: Bring all face-up Personalities in your provinces into play, waiving costs and ignoring restrictions.

My friend an I were arguing about this card and we need something to be cleared up about the wording of it.

Does "If you have no cards in either your Fate or Dynasty deck" mean that you can only play it

a) if both decks are empty b) if either deck is empty

Either deck. Not both (that would be worded as an "and" statement).
