Rules Q&A
- Q: Is Hiruma Dojo 0 gold cost coming out of a Crossroads?
Is Fantastic Garden 4 gold?
Is Large Farm 0 or 1?
A: No, no, and 1. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 22nd, Part Two", 22 Aug 2001 - Q: Large Farm - The clause that cards affecting or affected by Small Farms also interact with Large Farms has been removed from the Gold Edition printing.
A: But they now have the 'Small Farm' trait, making most of the interactions that the old trait would have caused happen anyway. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for August 14th", 14 Aug 2001 - Q: I may have been playing this card wrong all along and cheating myself of honor. Can someone with an "official" stance (pointing me to a rulebook page, paragraph works too) clarify how this card works?
Scenario: 8 Gold cost Clan Samurai face up in province. I produce 4 Gold off the Stronghold. And I have a Hiruma Dojo, and a Large Farm in play.
Actions: 1) I announce I am bringing samurai personality into play 2) Reaction: Reduce the cost of the samurai by 4 ( bowing Hiruma Dojo) 3) Bow Stronghold to pay 4 Gold (full costs??)
Did I get the honor gain for paying a FULL cost (after reduction from reaction on dojo)??? Or if I was not going for the honor, could I of payed 2 Gold from the Large Farm to get him in low??
A: Yes to both questions. Once you've used the Dojo's Reaction, his 'full cost' is considered to be 4 less than it was before. So, paying 4g for him brings him in at 'full cost', and 2g will bring him in without honor. Vaughn Derderian, "Rules for November 23rd", 23 Nov 2000
