Rules Q&A
- Q: Following this: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=107948&p=1420520
I take it then that actions such as At Any Cost, or Will, also Recruit the personality?
And per the definition of Recruit and this other ruling, Kaeru Contractor would not work with them?
What about House of Contracts? Is it able to produce 5g "when paying for an ability on a strategy"? I.e., is the cost of the Recruiting effect in AAC or Will part of the ability's cost?
A: Pre-Ivory edition cards (all cards in actuality) should always be played using their current Oracle of the Void text.
As of right now, At Any Cost and Will do not use the Recruit rulebook procedure found in the Ivory Edition rules. Instead they directly bring the personality in to play, which using Legacy rules, means you have to pay their gold cost, plus any modifications the card describes for them at that time.
That gold cost is not from the Strategy, it is considered from rulebook, so Kaeru Contractor and House of Contacts would not be able to help you pay for them. Ben Higgins, "Kaeru Contractor | House of Contracts + @ Any Cost, Will,etc", 26 Jun 2014
