Rules Q&A
- Q: I use I KNow That Trick with 3 personalities in the battlefield, target a Randon Crab and and Hida Benjiro (Experienced) issues me a challenge and kill the initial target of my action. The rule allow me to choose a new target to dishonor and create the ranged attack( further resources).
A: This is hard to interpret, since I Know That Trick has two abilities. I'm assuming you are referring to the first one, and that your opponent controls Hida Benjiro (Experienced).
If that's the case....
If you targeted your Personality, the cost is paid, regardless of whether the Personality is destroyed in the duel started by Hida Benjiro (Experienced), so the effects still happen. There is no need to try to pay again.
Lotus rules, pg. 44: "Destroying or otherwise removing a card from play after costs have been paid for an action on it does not negate that action’s effects." Zen Faulkes, "Another costs question...", 28 May 2007
