Regarding Scenario 5, if the destruction of the Spider army is simultaneous as you say in Scenario 3, then how can it be that you gain any honor?
A: While the destructions are indeed simultaneous, each one is a separate destruction, and Takuan's trait will trigger separately for each one. Ben Higgins, "Susumu Takuan, death effect timings, and rehonoring", 11 Nov 2014 - Q: Situation 1: Takuan is destroyed by an action. Does his controller gain 1 honor?
A: No. Ben Higgins, "Susumu Takuan, death effect timings, and rehonoring", 11 Nov 2014 - Q: Situation 2: A dishonorable Takuan is destroyed by an action. Does his controller gain 1 Honor?
A: No, and Taukuan will not rehonor neither. Ben Higgins, "Susumu Takuan, death effect timings, and rehonoring", 11 Nov 2014 - Q: Situation 3: Takuan is in an army with X other Spider Clan personalities. His army is destroyed in battle resolution. How much (if any) Honor does his controller gain?
A: None. All the Personalities are destroyed at the same time and are all placed in the discard pile at the same time. As with Situation 1, Takuan's trait will not trigger. Ben Higgins, "Susumu Takuan, death effect timings, and rehonoring", 11 Nov 2014 - Q: Situation 4: Same as situation #3, but the Takuan in question is dishonorable.
A: Same as situation 3, and Takuan will remain dishonorable. Ben Higgins, "Susumu Takuan, death effect timings, and rehonoring", 11 Nov 2014 - Q: Situation 5: An army of X Spider Clan personalities dies in battle resolution while a dishonorable Takuan sits at home (or somehow otherwise survives, perhaps with Resilient). How much (if any) Honor does his controller gain?
A: You will gain X-1 Honor, as the first destruction will rehonor Takuan, and the rest will generate the honor normally. Ben Higgins, "Susumu Takuan, death effect timings, and rehonoring", 11 Nov 2014
