Hello Guys, Two questions,

Firstly; Can I use Isawa Chinatsu reaction

Phoenix Clan • Scholar • Shugenja • Earth Reaction: When paying for a Spell: Produce 2 Gold.

In conjunction with Supply Outpost.

Text Bow this card: Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold. If this pays for a Personality, you may attach a Follower, Item, or Spell to him from your hand after he enters in play, reducing its Gold cost by 3 until it attaches.

To attach a Five gold Spell Chinastu When she is bought in the Dynasty Phase

Secondly can I use Supply Outpost (above) to attach Seeking the Way (This spell cannot have its gold cost reduced) if I pay the Extra Gold

Thanks a lot for your time.

Isawa Kenji

Firstly, can I use Isawa Chinatsu's reaction in conjunction with Supply Outpost to attach a five gold Spell to Chinastu when she is bought in the Dynasty Phase?

Yes.

Secondly, can I use Supply Outpost to attach Seeking the Way (This spell cannot have its gold cost reduced) if I pay the extra Gold?

It's not really "extra" gold, but yes, if you pay the gold cost of Seeking the Way you will successfully attach it.
