Rulings
- Does not bow to use his innate ability; he bows for an optional effect during his innate ability. Thus, does not combo with effects that allow Shugenja to use their innate abilities without bowing. [JA, 4 March 2004] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 90
Rules Q&A
- Q: I have a Shugenja in play that casts FoW on one of my other cards. Say Asako Naokazu (4 Chi, 2PH) now has 4PH and 2chi. I then then kill her in this phase[,] Then use Stonghold ablitity to put her face up in one of my provinces. My question is, are her stats 4C/2PH or 2C/4PH?
