Rules Q&A
- Q: According to the EE Special Wording Rules, it appears that City of Blood now works as one assumes was intended. That is, you can benefit from Kinuye's Garden and meet the conditions of Iuchiban Sensei on any Phoenix Clan Shugenja when bringing one into play, rather than just those with the base Bloodspeaker keyword. I recall this being an issue in the past, but I must ask if my assessment is correct?
A: The use of "your" does not override the fact that effects normally cannot affect cards that are out of play.
However the rules on effects in and out of play do state that effects affect your cards while they are in an entering play area. Since Personalities enter the entering-play area before you pay for them, both Kinuye's Garden and Iuchiban Sensei will treat your Phoenix Clan Shugenja as having the Bloodspeaker trait while buying them. Jon Palmer, "City of Blood", 27 Mar 2012 - Q: This would mean that Kinuye's Garden would only produce 4 gold for those personalities which already have the bloodspeaker trait on them while they are in your province waiting to be purchased during dynasty and not for just any Phoenix shugenja in the province right?
A: Right. Jeff Alexander, "Re: City of Blood", 5 Mar 2005
