A player, 3 September 2009
Just a quick question, the timing seems close enough to call either way to me.
If a player brings Akuma no Oni (Exp. 2) into play from his rightmost province, does it refill before being destroyed? I'd think so, since a province refills automatically when a card leaves it and Akuma no Oni's trait doesn't trigger until he's in play.

http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Areas_of_the_ga ... of_play.29: "When a card leaves a province and the province then holds fewer than its maximum number of cards, effects triggered by the card... entering play resolve first(.) Then, if the Province still holds fewer than its maximum number of cards, it is refilled with a face-down Dynasty card from the top of the Province’s owner’s deck(.)"
Akuma no Oni's trait triggers "After Akuma enter play."
No refilling before Province destruction.
