Rules Q&A
- Q: If I cast more than one Flight of Doves on the same holding, will the additional honor stack?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Flight of Doves", 18 Jul 2009 - Q: I just wondered if there were any rules about multiple effects of the same card not stacking on the same target.
A: Only that a card can only a keyword once. If five effects give a Personality "Tactician," it's functionally the same as if the Personality had the "Tactician" keyword once. Zen Faulkes, "Flight of Doves", 18 Jul 2009 - Q: Ongoing effects that affect a card in play persist when the card leaves play, unless something else intervenes (for example, the Tracking rule - see above).
A: and Tracking rule: Alex Jones, "Kitsune Den and Flight of Doves", 24 Apr 2008
