Rules Q&A
- Q: Is it possible, that because of the timing of the straighten effect I have in play an unbowed ShugA with a Soul Jar attached and Dead Chump?
If this is the case, it follows that I could then, on a subsequent turn, bow the ShugA with Soul Jar attached and end up with two dead personalities in play, both of which would be removed the next time ShugA straightens?
A: After a short rules conference, it was determined that this is what will happen. Chris Fuchs, "Shiba Arihiro and Soul Jar", 25 Sep 2007
