(From Benjamin Davis)
If Daidoji Rekai exp2 uses her ability to make a range 3 attack at the current battle without moving into the battle does Rekai have to bow to perform the action?
No. "...without bowing" (card text) means just that.
Having thought on this some more, I don't think Rekai can use her ability *at all* unless she is outside the current battle. Under Gold targeting rules, I think her ability targets the current battle. So if she's in the current battle, there is no legal target for her ability.

I could be wrong on this but I think it's because the Sepulchur of Bone was the stronghold to represent the Dark Moto, and since no Dark Moto on Gold, no Sepulchur of Bone.
The choice of Shadowlands strongholds in Gold Edition is for storyline reasons, but not that one. Jeff Alexander noted that the undead (led by Kuni Yori) lost the Shadowlands civil war during The Hidden Emperor storyline.

Do you count the 3 focus value of Bend instead of the two when Judgement of Tosh is played?
You don't count it *at all*, because it was not focused (unless you played it as a normal face-down Focus instead of for its Reaction).

Friendy reminder: Please post in PLAIN TEXT.
In the Season of Shadowlands storyline kit, corrupt decks were defined as four or more Shadowlands cards.
Ah. Since I had not seen the "Season of..." literature, I was not aware of that little tidbit. (And I still think that standard's too lax!)
