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: Qu 1. came up in play. Qu 2. is just for curiosity.
1.Shiba Tsukune Exp3 states that she will only join a phoenix player. As such, should her chi be reduced below 4 could she be kolat mastered by a non phoenix player.
A: Kolat Master would not take control of her. However, it is still legal to play it, and both its other effects -- the destruction of all Followers with an Honor Requirement above 0 and the loss of 4 Honor -- would still happen. Jeff Alexander, "post for 24 April 2002", 25 Apr 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
