Rules Q&A
- Q: Does this mean if Fosuko is destroyed while she's been removed from the game she goes into the discard pile as a discarded card and not a dead one?
A: That is exactly what I was trying to convey.
That said, while there is no rule that a card out of play cannot be destroyed, "removed from the game" is more than just "out of play". I overextended from the case of a card out of play being destroyed to an out of game card being destroyed. That was a mistake.
I am correcting the earlier post: a card that has been removed from the game can't be destroyed. Zen Faulkes, "Your Clan Needs You! & Hida Fosuko: RftG effects", 2 Dec 2011 - Q: Does this mean that Fosuko while having been removed from the game during the battle, after the current combat segment ends is then destroyed and put into the discard pile as a dead crab?
A: No. Fosuko would be destroyed, but not dead.

There's currently no rules concerning cards destroyed out of play, as it's a pretty rare situation. Zen Faulkes, "Your Clan Needs You! & Hida Fosuko: RftG effects", 1 Dec 2011
