Rules Q&A
- Q: The stack also inherits the underlying card’s base abilities, including ones that have been removed in the course of play. This is not considered an ability gain. The inherited ability on the new card is the same copy, and remembers whether it has been used.
...
The underlying card’s attachments, tokens, and game state, including ongoing effects, also apply to the new stack, but this does not transfer or attach anything, or begin or end any game state on a card.
A: Basically, overlaying rules say that the ability of the underlying card is absorbed into the overlaying card. It is considered the same ability and the overlaying card is considered to be the same card for the purposes of any effects that are still going on. Martin Lund, "Asako Masamichi and Hope from Death Revisited", 6 Jul 2007 - Q: If Asako Masamichi has used his ability, but is subsequently killed and brought back into play using Hope from Death, will his ability fail to keep the affected personality bowed?
Hope from Death
Reaction: After one of your Human Personalities is destroyed during battle, pay his gold cost unless you are a Phoenix Clan player: Overlay his card on one of your target Human Personalities at the current battlefield, ignoring title and experience levels.
Asako Masamichi
Battle: Bow a target Personality opposing Masamichi with less Chi. Before this battle resolves, if Masamichi is not at the current battlefield, straighten the target.
A: Rules, Effects, Durations: "Ongoing effects do not end if the card they came from leaves play." Zen Faulkes, "Asako Masamichi and Hope from Death", 6 Jul 2007
