Rules Q&A

• Q: I am confused about the interaction between Kitsune Tsutaro and Failure of Duty.
  When may I trigger Tsutaro's ability? Immediately after I play Failure of Duty, or must I wait until after battle resolution begins and I search my deck for a political action?
  A: Failure of Duty is "resolved" after it is played. The clause about doing something "when this battle's resolution begins" is a Delayed Effect, and thus you don't wait until it is applied to consider the Action resolved. Martin Lund, "Kitsune Tsutaro and Failure of Duty", 27 Feb 2008
• Q: 1. An action or trait begins to resolve when its sequence of effect activation begins, assuming costs, targeting and conditions have been met. It stops resolving when its sequence of effect activation has ended, even if the application of some effects has been delayed.
  A: Comprehensive Rules: Glossary - R - "Resolve"
  So you read through the Action and activate all the effects in order. The ones that are not delayed are applied immediately when activated. The ones that are delayed are applied later. When you reach the end of the ability's text and have activated the last effect (regardless of whether you applied it, delayed it, or had it fail / get Negated) the Action is Resolved.
