Rules Q&A

• Q: Hello,
  My Sora with a weapon attached (Justice of the Crane) gets some Planted Evidence played against him.
  My understanding is that the destruction of the personality and the item occur simultaneously and the owner gets to resolve each one. If I elect to have the weapon destroyed first, I should be allowed to draw a card for Sora's weapon being destroyed correct? If not (or if my reasoning is incorrect) what is the correct way to go about this?
  Cheers!
  Sora: Before one of Sora's Weapons is destroyed, draw a card Planted Evidence: Ninja Limited, 10gc : Destroy a target Personality with 3 or lower Chi, or with 4 or lower Chi if you control a Ninja Personality. Lose Honor equal to your Starting Family Honor.
  A: Planted Evidence only destroys the Personality. Once the Personality is destroyed, its attachments leave play in the same manner (being destroyed - comp rules, p22). So Sora will be in your discard pile before the weapon is destroyed. Jon Palmer, "Weapon Equipped Sora + Planted Evidence", 18 Aug 2014
• Q: My opponent has one 3 Chi person in play. I also have a 3 chi person in play with Interrupt the Void's flow. No other personalities are in play. My opponent plays Planted Evidence, and I interrupt with the spell, which removes my person from the game before they can be destroyed. Does my opponent then have to target and destroy his own personality?
  A: Yes. The targeting is mandatory, so if when it occurs there is only one legal target, that target must be chosen. Jon Palmer, "Targeting and Planted Evidence", 19 Jul 2014
