Rules Q&A

• Q: I was asked this question a few days ago; and while I believe I have the right answer, I would like a confirmation.
  If Chuda Atsuro is brought into play via Unexpected Arrival; where does the Personality created by his Reaction comes into play?
  Chuda Atsuro Spider Clan • Shadowlands • Shugenja After Atsuro enters play: Lose 4 Honor. Maho Reaction: After Atsuro enters play from a province: Create a 2F/2C/0PH Shadowlands • Undead Personality.
  Unexpected Arrival Battle: If any enemy units are at the current battlefield: Target a Personality in one of your provinces. Bring him into play at the current battlefield, paying 2 less Gold and ignoring his Honor Requirement.
  A: Default location for created personalities is at home. Dan Jacobson, "Chuda Atsuro and Unexpected Arrival", 22 Apr 2010
• Q: First the cards: The Direct Approach : Open: Give a target Personality -1F for each of his keywords other than Clan alignments. If his Force is now 0, he may not perform actions.
  Chuda Atsuro: 3 Force - 4Chi Spider Clan • Shadowlands • Shugenja After Atsuro enters play: Lose 4 Honor. Maho Reaction: After Atsuro enters play from a province: Create a 2F/2C/0PH Shadowlands • Undead Personality.
  Now the facts: The other player attaches a spell on a naked Atsuro, let's say a Touch of death. I play a Direct approach and target Atsuro.
  And the question: Can Atsuro perform Touch of Death or any other Action? I keep telling my buddy he can't because Atsuro is "Shadowlands", "Shugenja" and "Maho". Am I right?
  A: You are correct.

• Q: Concerning Chuda Atsuro's and Udo's reactions; I've been searching the rulebook and Comprehensive Rules for anything concerning reactions based on card title, and I can't find anything contradicting the SE interpretation of reactions with card titles imbedded in them, so I'm wondering about two scenarios:
  1. Chuda Atsuro: Maho Reaction: After Atsuro enters play from a province: Create a 2F/2C/0PH Shadowlands - Undead Personality.
  Q: If I have an Atsuro in play, and another one enters play from a province, can both of them react to create 2 zombies?
  2. Udo: Maho Reaction: After the resolution of an action that destroyed a Follower or Personality: Create a 2F/2C/0PH Shadowlands - Undead Personality at Udo's location.
  Q: I have 1 Udo at a battlefield, and 2 Udos at home. Can I react with all 3 Udos to create 3 zombies at the battlefield since it is "Udo's location"?
  A: No and no.

Such references by title refer only to that copy of the card, not to any other copy that might exist, unless they use wording such as 'a Mirumoto Kei' or 'a copy of Mirumoto Kei.'"
  And did I mention, "No"? Zen Faulkes, "Chuda Atsuro and Udo reactions", 1 Feb 2010
