Rules Q&A
- Q: Does Chaldera bow a shadowlands personality even though that personality has followers? Relevant text: Battle: Once per battle, bow an opposing Personality with less force who either has no unbowed followers or has the Shadowlands trait.
A: Chaldera can bow an opposing Personality who A) has less Force than Chaldera, and B) either has no unbowed Followers or has the Shadowlands trait. [card text]
So, yes. Jeff Alexander, "post for 8 May 2003", 9 May 2003 - Q: Salutations. So, I was messing around on the oracle earlier, and I noticed that while Zenathaar and Chaldera are listed as Unaligned, Shabura is listed as Naga for clan. This, combined with the fact that Shabura and Chaldera have the Naga mon and border, lead to a slight confusion for me (and potentially others). 1)Which, if any, of these three are Unaligned, and which, if any, are Naga clan? 2)According to the comprehensive rules, it seems Naga is not a clan alligiance, but does that mean that it is not a clan at all, or just not a clan with a SH?
As far as I can tell, all three personalities are Unaligned, but I wished for more official clarification.
A: Naga is not currently a clan alignment. If a Personality's clan alignment is listed in the Oracle as "Naga", this is only relevant in Legacy or Big Deck games.
Shabura is effectively unaligned in Ivory and Twenty Festivals, as they have been in any non-Open/Legacy/etc format since Gold Edition.
Zenathaar and Chaldera have the Naga alignment in formats where Naga is a valid clan alignment. Alex Jones, "Naga and Unaligned in 20f", 23 Feb 2015
