Rules Q&A

• Q: If I (phoenix player) bows Fosuta with Katashi's ability, can Fosuta's controller (at the beginning of his or her turn) negate his straightening and place a curse token? Or, is the bowing of Fosuta a requirement to initiate the creation of curse tokens?
  A: The latter. Bowing is a cost, because it's written between the colons. Zen Faulkes, "Asako Katashi and Isawa Fosuta (experienced)", 4 Feb 2010
• Q: The search function would be much more helpful if it one could select certain sub-forums to only search in.
  A: I have wonderful news for you:
  It can. (Cue fanfare.)
