Rules Q&A
- Q: I have a question for Jeff.
Some persons I know have a particular interpretation of this 3 cards : Asako Kinuye - Playing With Madness (PWM) and Bloodspeaker Sanctum.
The problem is they think that PWM can be played with Kinuye with the use of the Sanctum.
A: It can. PWM is a Maho Kiho. Kinuye does not need to bow when casting Maho Kihos. It can only be cast by Shugenja, though, which Bloodspeaker Sanctum provides. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 10 Feb. 2004", 11 Feb 2004 - Q: Asako Kinuye Gempukkus to a acquire the Samurai trait. I then attach Kitsune House Guard, allowing her to cast Kihos as a shugenja. Can/or is she still allowed to commit seppukku if she causes me an honor loss?
A: Yes. Kitsune House Guard does not give a Personality the Shugenja trait (card text). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 11 September 2003", 12 Sep 2003 - Q: If I use Asako Misao (non-exp.) to remove the Shadowlands and/or Blood speaker trait (as in does he remove all or just 1) from Asako Kinuye what does he remove?
A. Only the Shadowlands trait on 1 turn. b. Only the Bloodspeaker trait on 1 turn. C. Both traits at once. D. (This should be Jeff's answer)
A: He removes only one, chosen by his controller. Jeff Alexander, "post for 19 November 2002", 20 Nov 2002
