Rules Q&A
- Q: can Ningyo unbow Kyuden Gotei or Kyuden Yoritomo?
A: No (Gold rulebook, pg. 33). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 24 October 2003", 24 Oct 2003 - Q: 4.) Last Question! -- I know this is pushin it, but won't you guys reprint the old Kyuden Yoritomo to make it Gold or Diamond legal? :)
A: It won't be made Gold-legal. Not without reducing its Gold Production to 4. At 5, Mantis would have too many first-turn Personalities to be balanced for the Gold environment. Jeff Alexander, "post for 5 February 2003", 6 Feb 2003 - Q: Also, can Yasuki Kojiro lock out a Kyuden Yoritomo players stronghold?
A: No, by Kyuden Yoritomo's text. (It is not affected by cards that affect ports.) Jeff Alexander, "post for 5 March 2002", 6 Mar 2002
