Rules Q&A

• Q: When Asako Yogo casts Kuro's Fire,
  can you discard a card for each ranged attack?
  Discard four cards to kill the opponent's hand?
  Or can you only do that once?
  Thanks!
  A: Asako Yogo says, "After the resolution of an action you took ..."
  "After the resolution" means after you've completed the entire "resolve effects" step of the Action on Kuro's Fire.
  That's only true once all the Consecutive Ranged Attacks of Kuro's Fire have been made. Once it is true, you can't make any more because you are done resolving Kuro's Fire's Action.
  That trigger only happens once per Action, no matter how many Consecutive Ranged Attacks (which are effects) it produces. Martin Lund, "Asako Yogo + Kuro's Fire", 26 Mar 2005
• Q: Yogo (Scorpion Personality) Cost: 15
  Scorpion Clan Fire Shugenja • Disciple of the Kami Accursed • Experienced Asako Yogo • Unique
  Limited: Once per turn, target a Personality with less Chi than Yogo. Straighten the Personality.
  Battle: Shuffle Yogo into your deck from the current battle: Search your Provinces and deck for any number of Personalities with a total Gold cost less than Yogo’s. Bring them into play in your army, ignoring costs.
  Shoju's Armor (Item)
  +1F +1C 8G 4Fo
  Unique. May only be attached to a Scorpion Clan Samurai. Attaches to Bayushi Shoju without gold cost.
  This Personality gains a 1F/1C bonus for each Black Scroll in play. The gold cost of your Scorpion Personalities is reduced by
  two while this card is in play.
  Do these two play well together? I mean, the rulings state:"Effects that reduce a card's cost do not affect the cost of abilities on cards already in play." So, I'm guessing that although I have the armor in play, Yogo's gold cost is still 15 for use with his ability. But are the Scorpions in my deck playable through Yogo's ability at -2 cost, or do I need to count their full gold cost for my total of 15?
  A: No, it's 13; Shoju's Armor doesn't say "printed." Zen Faulkes, "Yogo and the Armor of Shoju", 17 Mar 2005
