Rules Q&A
- Q: (C)an Furumaro use his Reaction in the action phase after Sieden sanzo targets and resolves on him? Or does he HAVE to use his reaction at the point of his actual destruction occuring?
A: The Reaction can only be taken when the destruction actually tries to occur, as per card text. There is no option in when it is legal to respond to a trigger.
Note, though, that a Reaction never has to be taken. Just clarifying that, in case someone thought the phrasing of the question meant that the Reaction always had to be used. Zen Faulkes, "Furumaro and Sieden Sanzo", 4 May 2010 - Q: If multiple effects are caused by a single piece of text they occur simultaneously, unless otherwise specified by language such as “consecutively.” Examples: “Bow all Oni”; “Dishonor two Samurai”.
