Hi,
We had these cases in a Legacy game this weekend :
When we use the battle action of Yogo XP7, do all the personalities arrive at the same time into play or they arrive one at a time?
Now, I play Yodin Sensei.
1/ I control 5 personalities, my opponent controls 4 personalities, then he put Yogo XP7 into play so he controls 5 personalities too. He uses the battle action of Yogo, how many personalities can he bring into play ? A => Any number respecting condition of the Yogo battle action. B => because he would control too many personalities
2/ I control 1 personality, my opponent control 1 personality, then then he put Yogo XP7 into play so he controls 2 personalities now. He uses the battle action of Yogo, how many personalities can he bring into play ? A => Any number respecting condition of the Yogo battle action. B => None because of Yodin restriction.
3/ I control no personality, my opponent controls Yogo XP7. He uses the battle action of Yogo, how many personalities can he bring into play ? A => Any number respecting condition of the Yogo battle action because Yogo has been shuffle into the dynasty deck so my opponent does not control more personalities than me at the time all his new army arrive into play. B => None because of Yodin restriction.
The Cards : ----------------------- Yodin Sensei - The player (or players) with the most personalities in play cannot bring a Personality into play if he or she has brought a personality into play this turn. ----------------------- Yogo XP7 - Battle: Shuffle Yogo into your deck from the current battle: Search your Provinces and deck for any number of Personalities with a total Gold cost less than Yogo's. Bring them into play in your army, ignoring costs. -----------------------
Thanks in advance, Rémi.

In all cases above, Yogo Exp 7 will successfully bring all Personalities his action searches for into play.

[JA, 8 October 2000] However, this will not prevent multiple Personalities entering play simultaneously if you otherwise meet the conditions for bringing one into play. [ML, 08 June 2005]"
