Rules Q&A
- Q: Hida Rikyu's basic version has the following abilities according to the Oracle:
Since the second ability has you bowing a Follower to straighten Rikyu am I correct that this ability is Tireless? Otherwise what is the point of straightening RIkyu if he is already straightened before you use him.
A: Yes, the second ability will be Tireless when Rikyu's basic version is updated to Ivory wording. Unfortunately, not every card in the Oracle has been as yet. It's a long and ongoing process. Brook Cunningham, "Hida Rikyu Basic: Tireless?", 20 Oct 2014 - Q: if he is bowed can he use his second printed abaility: " Battle: Bow a follower attached to Rikyu: once per battle, straighten Rikyu"
A: Yes (Diamond rules, pg. 54). Zen Faulkes, "Hida Rikyu", 7 Mar 2005
