Rules Q&A
- Q: In regards to: Kakita Komachi and Initial Targeting
Does this mean that Kakita Komachi's ability is targeted after the card is discarded from the top of the deck?
A: Yes.
Required and optional targeting in the constraints block and required targeting in the effects block all occur during step B, "Required targeting" of the Using abilities sequence, but optional targeting in the effects block occurs during step D, "Action resolves". The card is discarded in step C, "Pay costs". Alex Jones, "Kakita Komachi and Initial Targeting", 20 Apr 2008 - Q: Kakita Komachi: How does this personality work with Initial Targeting?
A: There is no "initial" required targeting. It's all targeting as effect. http://rules.l5r.com/Abilities_and_acti ... _targeting: "Targeting that is delayed happens at the time it is delayed to." Zen Faulkes, "Kakita Komachi and Initial Targeting", 18 Apr 2008
