Rules Q&A
- Q: I've re-read the definition of "Unit" in Glossary as well as "Attachments" in Comp Rules, yet I am still a bit confused about these two:
Hiruma Shigeo Open: Bow a target attachment.
Monkey Magistrates This Personality has +1 PH. Reaction: After another player's action targets this Personality, bow this card: This Personality gains +2C. If he is no longer a legal target for the action, its effects do not happen.
Shigeo targets Monkey Magistrates (who are in a unit) and tries to bow it. Having in mind that "Targeting a unit is the same as targeting its Personality" as well as Monkey Magistrates Reaction trigger, can I bow them (to pay the Reaction's cost) before Shigeo action's effect bows them, and give my Personality +2C?
Thanks a lot.
A: Targeting an attachment and targeting a unit are NOT equivalent.
Targeting a personality and targeting a unit are equivalent.
Targeting the Monkey Magistrates with Hiruma Shigeo's ability will not trigger the Reaction on Monkey Magistrates. Dan Jacobson, "Hiruma Shigeo vs. Monkey Magistrates", 23 Mar 2010
