Rulings
- Since you are spending money "to put this card into play" [card text] and Out of the Shadows is an Action card, you cannot spend gold which is spendable only on Followers and do not benefit from Follower-cost-reducing effects. Is also not a Ninja card [card text], so there's no 2g discount either. Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 46
Rules Q&A
- Q: 3) Bushi Dojo Reads, "Bushi Dojo 3G Bow the Bushi Dojo to produce 6 Gold when paying for a Follower or an action that creates a Follower token." [MRP, Gold Edition, 1 July 2001]
Bushi Dojo now aids Out of the Shadows and Peasant Levies. True?
A: True. Jeff Alexander, "replies to 1-2 July", 5 Jul 2001
