Rules Q&A
- Q: Harsh Choices You may destroy the province this Event was revealed in. If you did, draw 3 cards.
Is the destruction of the province a cost?
Will Forging Destiny negate everything or just the card draw?
A: The province destruction is an effect, not a cost, since it does not appear before a colon. Alex Jones, "Harsh Choices cost?", 5 Dec 2012 - Q: How does Hira Sensei work with pre-Ivory edition events? Things like Harsh Choices and the like where there's no action associated, merely the Event resolving.
A: It doesn't/can't. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 18 May 2024
