Rules Q&A
- Q: First is just clarification, following this ItVF question, I assumed that cards removes from the game cannot be removed/destroyed again, so created cards in Shugenja unit under Interrupting the Void's Flow effect will return into play normally. Am I right or they somehow get permanently removed like in any other "leaving play effect"?
Second is about timing in Forward Encampment Battle action: It says "...another's player action destroyed it or it's Personality." If I destroy follower myself (e.g. Legion of Toshigoku) and after that it's former Personality dies from ranged attack, can I bring legion back with FE? Or Personality is no longer considered it's after Legion entering discard pile?
A: Per the CR, when a Created Card leaves play, it ceases to exist. ItVF does not re-create it when it brings the unit back into the game, so the card will still be gone.
"Its Personality" requires the follower to be attached when the Personality is destroyed. Otherwise we could get some really weird interactions with cards that transfer attachments in battle. Jon Palmer, "Two questions", 7 Jun 2015 - Q: Is the target personality of Forward Encampment required to be present at the current battlefield or can I equip the spell to someone who's sitting at home? Also can the spell's ability be used again if already used before it's destruction?
A: The Personality you're Equiping the attachment to is targeted by the action, so they have to be at the current battlefield. And cards have memory until they're face-down and out of play. If the card is merely out of play, game state remembers whether or not its ability has been used. Alex Jones, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 12 Feb 2021
