Rules Q&A
- Q: A buddy of mine and I ran into this situation, and we weren't too sure of the ruling on it.
Player 1 has a Bayushi Sneaky-Courtier equipped with a Court Attendants. On Player 2's turn, they decide to use Unsettling Gathering on the Court Attendants, and attempts to transfer the follower to Daigotsu Undead-Not-Courtier. However, since Daigotsu's undead minion doesn't have the requisite Keyword requirement, the follower doesn't attach and ends up in Player 1's discard pile.
Question: Is this what should happen? Since the targeting of the follower happens before the targeting of the personality (or minion) that it transfers to? Or, is it the case that the transferring must transfer to a legal target, meaning someone that has the Courtier keyword?
Much thanks for any clarification on the situation!
A: Transfering an attachment must respect any requirements and/or restrictions of the attachment.
As such, you cannot target an non-Courtier with Unsettling Gathering if you intend to transfer Court Attendants, as per your example. Ben Higgins, "Ivory Rules Q.: Unsettling Gathering + 'Restricted Item'", 3 Jan 2014
