Rules Q&A
- Q: 6.) Ancestral Shrine: "Bow to produce 2 Gold plus 1 Gold for each of your Ancestors." Since it doesn't specify Ancestors IN PLAY, what's to stop me from putting six ancestors or so in my Fate deck, leaving them there, and then getting a 8G-producing holding?
A: It says "your". "Your" = "controlled by you" = "in play". Jeff Alexander, "post for 18 December 2001", 19 Dec 2001 - Q: Kitsu Marimi creates a personality with the Ancestor trait. Does this count for the gold production on Ancestral Shrine at all and can the Guardian of the Rift target an Ancestor personality?
A: Yes, an amusing and unforseen side effect of giving a keyword to Personalities that is a defunct card type is that Legacy cards, unless/until errata'd, won't know the difference between the two. Therefore, yes, Guardian of the Rift and Ancestral Shrine will affect/count both Ancestor cards and Personalities with the Ancestor keyword. Brook Cunningham, "Kitsu Marimi in Legacy", 11 Feb 2011
