Rules Q&A

• Q: http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=114921
  regarding this, what i mean is when i invested jaikei and equip 2 stockpiled weapon to him during the process. what is his gold count for standing fast?
  A: Ah, I think I see what you're saying, but using Jaikei's Invest in no way effects the cost of the Weapons, only how much you have to pay for them. So, they'll count for their full cost (3 each, or 4 each if you used their own Invests) when Standing Fast checks how much it can bow. Brook Cunningham, "Mirumoto Jaikei + standing fast", 19 Aug 2015
• Q: i recruited Mirumoto Jaikei(invested) and equip 2 stockpiled weapons to him, then use standing fast targeting him. What is the total gold amount he can bow? 15 or 23?
  A: Invest permanently changes the cost of the card it's on when you choose to use it.
  However, you didn't say if you Invested either of the Stockpiled Weapons. Let's assume you did, so it's 22 total Gold you can bow with Standing Fast, because Jaikei's unit's total would cost would be 23 (15 + 4 + 4, all 3 cards you mentioned, all Invested). Brook Cunningham, "Mirumoto Jaikei + standing fast", 19 Aug 2015
• Q: When I Reserve Mirumoto Jaikei into the battlefield, fully invested, my opponent uses Interrupt the Void's Flow to negate the action (and go poof). What happens to the money I put into the pool?
  A: As described here (and here), when paying the gold cost of an action, you may produce gold; you may then spend that gold, together with gold from your pool, on the action. Any gold you don't spend on the action (and which isn't required to be spent on a particular cost, such as that produced by Honored Sensei when you choose to activate the trait) goes to your pool.
  This all happens in the Pay Costs step of the Action Sequence - that is, before the Interrupts step, when Interrupt the Void's Flow is played.
  To Recruit an Invest'd Jaikei, you must spend 15g on the action, plus any extra gold for any weapons costing more than 4g. Once spent, this gold is gone: you do not get it back if the action is negated. Alex Jones, "Mirumoto Jaikei and Negation", 1 Jul 2015
