Rulings

• Only forces the use of Holdings and the Stronghold to make the payment. [DW, 31 July 1996] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 118
• Forcing gold payment does not bow cards (i.e., it will not be prevented by Calm Winds). Bowing all gold producing holdings when full payment is not possible, however, is a card bowing effect (i.e., will be prevented by Calm Winds). [VRD, 29 May 2001] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 118
• The first clause forcing you to try to pay does not require you to bow Holdings or Strongholds that: Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 119
• Will not produce gold in this case (e.g., Bushi Dojo). [ZF, 31 December 2002] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 119
• Other means are optional. Only forces you to try to make the payment, not to produce as much gold as you can. You can deliberately use a variable-output Holding in a less-than-productive manner, for example. [ibid.] See also Gold-Producing Holdings and Gold Payments. Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 45
• Also prevents triggered effects such as the Dragon Stronghold's, but does not inhibit continuous effects. [DW, l5rinfo, 12/25/96] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 46
• Since the side effects of bowing your Stronghold and preventing it from generating effects are both part of the same sentence, if Oni no Titsu is brought into play by Unexpected Allies, both side effects are negated. [DW, l5rinfo, 6/9/97] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 46
• Its three-turn lifespan only counts your full turns. [FAQ 3.1, 8/28/96] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 46
• Any time it enters or returns to play, such as with Feign Death, its three-turn timer resets. [ibid.] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 46
• Erratum: title is actually Oni no Kamu. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 18
• Erratum: is Unique. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 19
