Rules Q&A
- Q: Can I use the Shadow Dragon's reaction on my own personalities as they are bowed?
A: No. It targets the Personality "when" she is bowed. Just like a Reaction that's played at the start of a Phase is still considered to happen during that Phase, a Reaction played "when" a card bows sees the card as already bowed. Jeff Alexander, "post for 29 April 2003", 30 Apr 2003 - Q: 16.Shadow Dragon
will it prevent the personality from straightening with rally cry?
A: Rallying Cry does not straighten a Personality. Rallying Cry stops the Personality from bowing in the first place. It does not interact with Shadow Dragon in any way. Jeff Alexander, "post for 26 August 2002", 27 Aug 2002 - Q: Well, I have two diferent questions associated to the same card, the Blessings of the Shi-Tien Yen-Wan and controling other players cards.
First one, if I have a Shadow dragon exp2, and control a personality in a battle, then my shadow dragon dies in the same battle (but not the personality I got control over). Then at the beggining of my next turn I put my Shadow Dragon on top of my deck (so he loses memory I think). Then I bring him into play and in another battle I use his ability, since Shadow Dragon lost his memory, would I keep both personalities?
In the same process with Sachina, where I use her ability, then she dies and come back through the blessings process, I guess she would be able to reuse her ability although it is once per game right?
Thanks!
A: Correct on both accounts. Jon Palmer, "Shadow Dragon, Sachina and Blessings of the Shi-Tien Yen-Wan", 17 Sep 2013 - Q: do Oni cards(oni in the title) have the type Oni like Ratling? what about dragons? I have the Shadow Dragon(LE) and it doesn't say it's a Dragon or a Non-human or creature. I tryed to find the ruleing on it but couldn't find the answer.
