Rules Q&A

• Q: I tried to find a question like this but I failed, so I'll try the direct approach:
  a) If a Personality with printed Tactician Keyword attaches Aramasu's Mask (which gives the Personality the Tactician Keyword), does he gain a second Tactician Keyword?
  b) If so, does this enable him to use the Tactical Advantage Action twice, and why?
  c) If he does not gain a second Tactician Keyword, does he lose the Tactician Keyword entirely, if it is removed by Victory of Deference or A Kensai's Art? If not, please care to explain why
  Thanks in Advance!
  A: Comprehensive Rules, Keywords: A card either has a given keyword or it does not. Effects that grant a keyword to a card that already has it do not give it an extra copy of the keyword, and do not protect that card against a future effect that would remove that keyword.
  So: a) No, he does not gain a second copy of Tactician. b) No, he cannot use Tactical Advantage twice. c) He loses Tactician. Alex Jones, "Aramasu's Mask on prnited Tactician", 24 Jun 2015
