Rules Q&A
- Q: Altering the cost of a particular type of card only matters when you are bringing that card type into play from your hand or Provinces, not when you are using an action that creates a card of that type. [JA, 18 October 2000] E.g., costs of actions that generate followers (e.g., Farmlands) are not affected by things that pay for or reduce the cost (Hida Tsuru, non-Experienced) of followers. These costs can be reduced by effects that look for when particular effects occur; e.g., "when bringing a follower into play" or "when attaching." [Extension from Hida Tsuru, Experienced. Reversal, JA, email, 20 September 2000]
wouldn't "Ratling Followers will join you for 1 less Gold" be considered an effect which looks for a particular effect to occur. e.g. a ratling follower is joining me therefor its cost is reduced by one?
A: The Follower token doesn't exist until the ability fully resolves. The ability doesn't resolve until it's fully paid for. Jeff Alexander, "post for 28 January 2003", 29 Jan 2003
