A player, 6 January 2012
I'm a Phoenix player with Shiba's Guidance in play. I win a battle at an opponent's province and destroy it, drawing a card. If the card I draw is Tales of Dishonor, can I then play its reaction or has the trigger already passed?
Shiba's Guidance xp After a battle resolution ends in which a Phoenix Clan player destroyed one or more provinces or enemy cards: He draws a card.
Tales of Dishonor Political Reaction: After the resolution of a battle at a province, if you destroyed any enemy units or a province in that resolution: The battle's loser loses 4 Honor.
Thanks

Yes, you can play it. Traits trigger before Reactions (see here).
