Rules Q&A
- Q: Regional Treasurer states :Bow this card : Produce 2 gold OPEN: Bow this card: Straighten your target Samurai Personality. Until your next turn ends, he does not straighten.
I used Regional Treasurer to straighten Bayushi Paneki during my opponent's Action Phase. I defended with Paneki. The battle ended and Paneki survived and we went into my turn. Paneki was already unbowed during my Straightening Phase, so during my Attack Phase, I assigned him to combat. As a result of Battle Resolution, Paneki bowed. I then followed the Phases and ended my turn. On my oppenent's Action Phase I used Regional Treasure to ready Paneki. My opponent claimed that this was not possible, as I had used Regional Treasurer during his last turn. I maintain that it was legal as my full turn had transpired between uses.
Could someone give me a ruling on this? The way I am using it is an important mechanic in my deck, and I need to know if it is legal to use it in this way. If my description is confusing, let me konw and I will try to clarify.
A: You are correct. As long as 1 of your full turns passes between each use of Regional Treasurer, the Regional Treasurer's ability will straighten your Samurai Personality. Dan Jacobson, "Regional Treasurer", 10 Aug 2009
