Rules Q&A
- Q: Can Smoke & Mirrors be used to discard a focus played by Isawa Ochiai to issue a duel, or by Isawa Tsuke before the duel begins?
A: Yes. If it was their "last focus" at the time you can play Smoke and Mirrors. Martin Lund, "Rules for 26 April 2004", 29 Apr 2004 - Q: A friend just noticed this
Isawa Ochiai Experienced full bleed doesn't have the SE kanji. (in fact she does have the lotus one, and the non full bleed version of her does not) does this means it is not SE legal? does this means that the one in SE decks is not legal either? (the full bleed is a MRP, isn't it?)
this is probably a involuntary omision, but just to set things in order i fear it must be ruled to be legal.
A: That's a question for Todd Rowland or someone in brand management. Zen Faulkes, "Isawa Ochiai Full Bleed", 5 Apr 2008 - Q: (O)r am I forced to bow the spell since she has the Fire Keyword?
A: You are never forced to bow the spell. It's an optional method of paying the cost you get in some conditions. Zen Faulkes, "Inferno's Tooth and Isawa Ochiai", 3 Sep 2007
