• Erratum: Reads, "Shiba Tsukune 3F/2C 5HR 5G 2PH Phoenix Clan Samurai. Reaction: When Tsukune enters a duel with a Shugenja, she gains +3C." [MRP, Gold Edition, 1 July 2001] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 122

Rules Q&A

• Q: b) My opponent is also playing Phoenix. I target my opponent's Shiba Tsukune with the Asahina's Blessing and then Quest for Guidance. Does his Shiba Tsukune now go into my discard as my honorable dead?
  A: She goes into your discard pile, but not as Honorable Dead. Jeff Alexander, "post for 31 March 2003", 1 Apr 2003
• Q: So what happens if I play One Life, One Destiny on Shiba Tsukune? Is she now a Non-Unique Unique personality?
  A: She's now Unique. A card cannot both have and lack a trait at the same time, and One Life, One Destiny is the most recent effect on her. Jeff Alexander, "post for 6 December 2002", 7 Dec 2002
• Q: Ok, I got some rules questions.
  If I have the new Shiba Tsukune KYoD exp2 in play and I or my opponenet plays one life one destiny, can I still bring a 2nd copy of the KYoD shiba Tsukune into play because she says she is not unique?
  A: All copies of her are unique now. The card played later takes priority. Tsukune's "non-Unique" text is needed to override the rulebook's statement that all Experienced cards are Unique by default. Jeff Alexander, "post for 26 September 2002", 28 Sep 2002
• Q: Shiba Tsukune: (C)an I include both the kyd xp2 version and her normal xp 2 version in the same deck?
  A: Rules Archive, Experienced: "Experienced and Experienced KYD cards are separate cards. Both may be in a deck, and neither impinges upon the other's uniqueness." Zen Faulkes, "Shiba Tsukune KYD", 27 May 2007
• Q: Also her trait doesn't say "this" card is non-unique, but rather "Tsukune is non-unique" so does it apply to all copies of cards named (Shiba) Tsukune in play and in the deck?
  A: No. Zen Faulkes, "Shiba Tsukune KYD", 27 May 2007
• Q: So if her kyd exp 2 version is in play can I have both her xp1 and xp3 versions seperately in play without needing to overlay?
  A: No. The Experienced and Experienced 3 versions have a uniqueness conflict. Zen Faulkes, "Shiba Tsukune KYD", 27 May 2007
