Greetings,
RoB Question
I Show of Good Faith my opponents guy. I then play [Shield of Blood] and kill one of my own personalities and target the Shown personality. Next turn after giving the Personality back to my opponent, I kill him in some way. What happens to him?
You control him (card text).
Jeff/Zen contradiction (wasRe: [L5R-CCG] Yasuki Trader / Unrequited Love)
So is this reversal?
You don't have to ask; Jeff is right by definition.
ambush???
If you play ambush, do you gain 2 honor for every card destroyed during the end of battle and then lose 5 honor, or is there no honor gain at all?
The former.
Be Prepared vs. Keen Eye
kill one of my opponent's Personalities with a duel, he plays Be Prepared To Dig Two Graves. Can I negate it with Keen Eye?
Doji Tanitsu Exp & Exp 2
If I overlay tanitsu exp 2 onto tanitsu exp do I lose the extra wind granted by tanitsu exp 2 because I lose the trait? Or do I keep the extra wind because Tanitsu has not left play?
Keep it (Diamond rules, pg. 66).
Favor Effects, Ambush
for cards after Gold, what is an Effect of the Imperial Favor?
One that requires discarding the Imperial Favor as a cost.
Can Kakitai Mai exp. Action be used to challenge someone with the Imperial Honor Guard attached?
No.
If an Ambush is used together with Shinjo Xushen exp., does he assign as Infantry or Cavallery? Or, more general, can the assignment segment be choosen?
Yes.
If it can be choosen, is it determined by the controller or by the Ambush player?
Controller, as usual for battle.
Rules : Kyuden Tonbo
I have 8 cards at the end of turn before drawing. I draw my card, I have 9 so I discard one. In response I use Toshi Ranbo reaction to draw a card. Now I still have 9 cards in my hand, but I already discarded cards to go back to 8 cards once at the end of turn.
Yes, that's legal.
Rules : Heavy shadow of fear
If the fear value changes, does the bonus also change ?
If some cards gain fear, or new cards with fear enter play after the event resolved, do they gain the bonus too ?
Yasuki Trader / Unrequited Love
Here Jeff refers to the bowing as a cost and costs cannot also be considered as effects can they?
Yes, they can. Something can simutaneaously be an effect and a cost (precedent: Hida Kosho).
