Rules Q&A
- Q: [Lotus]Rising Tensions. If I gain Shadowlands with Corrupted Jade Vein, can I play Rising Tensions?
A: No. CJV gives the Personality Shadowlands immediately upon producing the Gold, before they enter play, so when they do (you "playing" them), they are already and definitely Shadowlands, thus invalidating a subsequent play of RT. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 13 Dec 2025
