Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Inheriting an Heirloom Until the game ends, during each player's End Phase, he may draw an additional card if he put any Weapons or Armors into play from his hand that turn." [Celestial Edition, 29 June 2009] Comprehensive Rules, Celestial Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, February 2012, p. 140
Rules Q&A
- Q: Isn't the problem purely hypothetical, seeing how Bitter Lies Student action is an Battle/Open and thus can't actually be played during the end phase?
A: No, that is not a problem, because it's an interaction with Inheriting an Heirloom, which creates a condition that checks throughout the turn and then provides an option in the end phase.
It's hypothetical because Bitter Lies Student does not fulfill the requirements for Inheriting an Heirloom - as was previously noted. Zen Faulkes, "Bitter Lies Student & Inheriting an Heirloom", 13 Dec 2010 - Q: So here's the deal : After Inheriting an Heirloom has resolved, my opponent uses Bitter Lies student to fetch a non-unique equipment and then attaches said weapon to a personality. At the end of his turn, does he get to draw the additional card off the event or not? In other words, does the from the Bitter Lies Student put the fetched weapon in your hand before attaching it or does it attach it directly?
Relevant text :
Bitter Lies Student : Battle/Open: Remove this card from the game: Search your discard pile, then your Fate deck, for a non-Unique Weapon. You may attach it to your target Personality.
Inheriting an Heirloom: Until the game ends, during each player's End Phase, he may draw an additional card if he put any Weapons or Armors into play from his hand that turn.
A: Bitter Lies Student attaches a card from the discard pile or fate deck, not from your hand. Alex Jones, "Bitter Lies Student & Inheriting an Heirloom", 13 Dec 2010
