Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Mizu-do 0G 2FV Kiho Elemental Battle: Target one of your Personalities in this battle and bow one of your Monks or Shugenja to take this action. From now until the battle ends, whenever any opposing card gains a non-Mizu-do Force bonus, the target Personality gains an equal force bonus until the turn ends." [MRP, Gold Edition, 1 July 2001] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 58
- Only copies bonuses gained after it's played. [RD, l5rinfo, 6/26/98] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 42
- Force bonuses gained through Mizu-do last until the end of the battle, even if the card the gain was copied from is removed from the battle. [card text, and ibid.] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 42
Rules Q&A
- Q: Personality Joe has Mizu-Do cast on him. Again the Crane uses BPTDTG and has three personalities in the battle...so:
A: Same answer, because Mizu-do happens "whenever an opposing card gains a... bonus." Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 6 July 2002", 7 Jul 2002
