Rules Q&A
- Q: 1) does the Triggered Effect of Leaked Information care if the original performing Personality is still a Magistrate at the time he assigns to a battlefield?
A: No.
See References: Once a card or other game element is identified by a keyword in a trait or action’s text (such as, “Bow one of your Samurai”) further references to that keyword within that trait or action are meant to only identify the particular game element clearly (such as, “Your Samurai gains +2F”). Specifically, if the Samurai somehow loses the Samurai keyword between the first and second references, the second effect still applies. Alex Jones, "Leaked Information and A Magistrates Blade", 31 Jan 2011 - Q: 2) Does the Assignment of Leaked Information trigger off the effect of attempting to Assign the Personality, or only if the Personality actually succeeds in being assigned to a battlefield?
A: Leaked Information says, "After each time your Magistrate's unit assigns": if the unit never assigns, there's never a time "after assignment." Alex Jones, "Leaked Information and A Magistrates Blade", 31 Jan 2011
