Hi, This came up in a game:
I have Kakita Maratai in play with Kakita Soichi. If I duel with Soichi win, which reaction happens first? Or am I allowed to choose?
Text: Kakita Soichi Crane Clan Samurai. Unique Political Reaction: Discard the Imperial Favor after Soichi wins a duel to draw 2 cards.
Kakita Maratai Crane Clan • Artisan • Sculptor Reaction: After a duel ends that your Personality won, bow Maratai: She sculpts a statue to honor the winner. Gain 2 Honor. Take the Imperial Favor.
Thanks!

When a trigger for one or more Reactions occurs, there is an action round procedure during which these may be taken, as described in Step C of the Timing Sequence.
However, all Reactions in that sequence must be triggered by the same effect, and "XXX wins a duel" is an effect which occurs in Step H, Determine outcome of the duel procedure, while "a duel ends" occurs in Step L, The duel ends.
