Rules Q&A
- Q: Myuken 3F/2C - Open: Myuken copies one keyword from your target Personality.
Aranai Sensei - Your Personalities with 3 or more Chi have Tactician. Unless they have the printed Tactician keyword, they do not have the Tactical Advantage ability.
I control Aranai, have Myuken and a 3C personality. I use Myuken's ability to copy the Tactician keyword from the 3C personality.
Has Myuken the Tactical Advantage ability?
I would say yes because "Unless they have the printed Tactician keyword, they do not have the Tactical Advantage ability." they referring to "Your Personalities with 3 or more Chi". Since Myuken only has 2C he isn't affected by Aranai's limitation.
However if he somehow gets +1C, he would loose the Tactical Advantage ability since he now would be affected by Aranai's limitation.
Did I get this correct?
A: Yes, you are correct. Myuken can copy Tactician, and he gets Tactical Advantage as long as he is not 3C. If he gets a chi bonus and reaches 3C, he loses the ability. Jon Palmer, "Aranai Sensei + Myuken", 24 May 2015 - Q: Greetings!
My question is what happens when I have a Personality with 3 Chi in play with Aranai Sensei and then the opponent removes the Tactician keyword from my Presonality. Will it be removed until the end of the turn? Or will Aranai Sensei reapply the keyword since it is a trait and it is continuous and not restricted to once per turn ( as it is stated in the advanced rulebook). I couldn't find any answers for this question in the Rules forum I hope it's not a repost. Thanks for the help in advance.
A: While the ongoing effect of Victory Through Deference is removing the Tactician keyword granted by Aranai Sensei, the keyword stays removed.
However, Victory Through Deference's effect will not prevent a new, different effect granting the Tactician keyword. Alex Jones, "Aranai Sensei + Victory Through Deference", 14 Jan 2015
