Rules Q&A
- Q: However, since his opponent has no viable target for the action, i.e. there is no personality with lower chi than himself, can he issue a duel?
A: No (card text). Zen Faulkes, "Blade of the Master/Gozoku Pawn Clarification", 27 Feb 2005 - Q: This seems to contradict the rulesheet from Web of Lies, Zen. Would you clarify, please?
Blade of the Master's targeting requirements appear to be "an opposing Personality."
Gozoku Pawn's targeting requirements appear to be "a Personality controlled by another player."
The other instances of targeting for each of them (the challenged personality) appear to be part of the cards' effects.
A: New rules. Huh. I was wrong. Zen Faulkes, "Blade of the Master, Gozoku Pawn, and targeting", 27 Feb 2005
