Rules Q&A
- Q: I use Doji Tsubota in my turn on a straight Personality of my opponent. He goes through his straighten phase and bows his personality in his turn (lobby or something) and he now wants to straighten him (tower of the nyngio,RoA..) ... does his personality straighten ? It was straight during straighten phase so im not sure how this works with tsubotas action.
Doji Tsubota Political Open: Discard the Imperial Favor: Until your next turn ends, negate a target Personality's next straightening.
A: If a Personality is unbowed, an effect that attempts to straighten him fails: Example 2: Effects fail if they try to put a card in a state it is in already (i.e. an effect that bows a card will fail if the card is already bowed; an effect that dishonors a Personality will fail if the card is already dishonorable). Failure for this reason takes precedence over negation effects.
