Rules Q&A
- Q: OK, this came up on a tournament I was in Saturday. My opponent used Kaneka's Strength. I said Strike and used A Test of Courage. Now, what happens?
A. A Test of Courage cancels the sending home part of Kaneka's Strength (my answer) B. A Test of Courage attempts to cancel the entire duel, which has already resolved, so nothing happens (my opponent's answer) C. The sending home is the result of a duel and not an action and therefore there is nothing for A Test of Courage to target (my opponent's second answer) D. Something else entirely
A: A Test of Courage cancels the entire action. Since the only part of the action that has not resolved yet is sending your Personality home, that's the only thing that doesn't happen. According to the rulebook, the duel is not canceled or undone since it has already occurred, even thought the entire Kaneka's Strength action has been canceled.
