Rules Q&A
- Q: Q: When playing Ruthless Advance, Can Family Keep produce 3Gold? (I think its a yes, but I want to be sure. Ruthless is a variable Gold cost while Family Keep says Base Gold cost.( Ex. 8GPersonality with Fubatsu Blade, making it a 12GC[10 to ruthless])
References:
Ruthless Advance: Battle: Pay Gold equal to the targeted unit's total Gold Cost minus 2: Destroy a target defending unit. Gold *
Family Keep: Castle Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold, or 3 Gold if paying for a card with a base Gold Cost of 9 or more. Open: If it is not your turn, you have only one Province, and you have one or zero cards in your hand: Draw a card.
Thank you for your answers!
A: Yes.
Strategy cards: Gold Cost: a Strategy card's Gold Cost is part of the base costs of each of its abilities. The number in the coin is not a separate cost of playing the Strategy card.
Asterisks: An asterisk (*) appearing instead of a stat on a card means that the stat has no base value, but is determined according to other circumstances. This also means that the stat is variable. If such a value cannot be determined at any given time, its base value is zero.
When playing a Strategy, you must pay the Gold Cost of the Strategy (which is one of the costs of the action). The base cost of Ruthless Advance is variable, but when you are paying its cost this value is known, and if it's 9 or more, a Family Keep will produce 3g towards it.
