Rules Q&A
- Q: Relevant Text: Platinum mine Text: Bow this card: Produce 5 Gold, or 6 Gold if paying for an attachment.
Celestial Sword of the Mantis Battle: Pay zero or more Gold: Give this Personality a Force bonus equal to the amount paid plus two, or Melee Attack with strength equal to twice the amount paid.
Does platinum Mine produce 5 or 6 gold when paying for this action?
A: You answer the question yourself. The force bump/melee attack on the Mantis Sword is paid for by paying for an action, not an attachment (in that sense, a holding that produces extra for an action will pay extra for it). Platinum Mine will only produce 5 for the action. Jon Palmer, "Platinum Mine and Celestial Sword of the mantis", 12 Nov 2012
