Rules Q&A
- Q: [Imperial]
Can I copy Matsu Tsuko using an Egg of P’an Ku if I’m not a Lion player?
Does the same apply to Bayushi Yojiro’s restriction if I’m not a 6-4-2 Scorpion player? (Personally I think so) What about Kolat Master? Can I control them if they are not aligned to my clan?
A: 1. Egg can copy them. Egg makes a copy that doesn't enter play; it just becomes a copy after already being in play, so the restrictions aren't ever checked.
2. No. The restrictions against control will make Kolat Master fail if you don't meet them.
Sidenote: Did you misread Yojiro? He won't join one particular Stronghold. Anyone else can buy/control him freely. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 3 Jul 2026
