Rules Q&A

• Q: The new wording of Low Stance's Focus Effect: Focus Effect: Before this duel’s resolution, negate all bonuses to each focused card’s Focus Value until the duel ends.
  Is the default reading of this: "Negate all current bonuses" a la Justly Earned Victory
  OR
  "Negate all current and new bonuses" a la Resilient Naginata
  A: Under what situations would it matter? Specifics help clarify the problem so we can answer it more precisely. Zen Faulkes, "Low Stance", 5 Jan 2011
• Q: I am pretty sure I know this answer, but I want to hear it from one of you before I tell anyone else. If I have a shugenja with any of the -1c tokesn from Essence of Destruction and I attach a Resilient Naginata, it negates the chi penalties, but does that also remove the tokens?
  A: The tokens stay.
  Tokens are not removed unless a card effect removes them or the card the tokens are on leaves play. Dan Jacobson, "Resilient Naginata and Essence of Destruction", 11 Apr 2010
• Q: It's said here that tokens are continous effects.
  A personality with a Resilient Naginata or Gift Armor is immune to Muketsu xp's -2 Chi tokens, as the chi penality is continually negated. If either item is transfered away, however, the chi penalty from the token would reassurt itself, would it not?
  A: You know, it strikes me as rather impolite to ask a question and then answer it yourself. What am I even doing here? ( ) Brook Cunningham, "Continual Negation and tokens", 7 Jun 2008
• Q: Continuous negation effects (such as the non-triggered trait “This card can not gain Force bonuses” on a card in play) negate all relevant instantaneous, ongoing and continuous effects while the negation effect applies. If such an effect ceases to apply, ongoing effects do not reassert themselves, but continuous effects do.
  A: Daizu's -2C penalty is an ongoing effect, and does not reassert itself. Martin Lund, "Hida Daizu exp, Resilient Naginata (Different question)", 3 Mar 2008
• Q: Hello, I had a little debate with a friend on these two brand new Honors Veil's items.
  They both say "Negate all Chi penalties on this Personality.", I was wondering if Hida Daizu exp could use his ability with one of these items (considering he is unbowed and at the same location of the personality being destroyed), and if he could use it, if the action effect is negated because of his cost's negation.
  Thanks

  A: No, he may not. If the cost is negated, then the cost is not paid.
  This is nearly identical to the question about Bayushi Tomo and her chi reduction being negated, see Marty Lund's response here. Doruk Özaydın, "Hida Daizu exp and Resilient Naginata/Gift Armor", 28 Feb 2008
