Rules Q&A

• Q: Recently in a game I had Shiba's Guidance out and took a province. After resolving all my onboard traits/reactions (dropping rings, and playing Introspections) I drew into another Introspection with the guidance. Now my question is am I able to play said Introspection? My opponent and I decided yes as the card draw from guidance isn't a reaction thus the timing window for Introspection hadn't closed yet. Any help would be awesome thanks.
  A: Actually, the answer is no. The card draw from Shiba's Guidance is a separately timed effect, so when it resolves, your window to playing Introspection off the Rings has already passed. Jon Palmer, "Shiba's Guidance Timing", 8 Jan 2013
• Q: Can the Phoenix player draw a card if he destroys a card before battle resolution ?
  Text Kami • Experienced • Unique After a battle resolution ends in which a Phoenix Clan player destroyed one or more provinces or enemy cards: He draws a card. Battle/Open: If you are a Phoenix Clan player, discard this card: Put a non-Unique Spell or Kiho in your discard pile into your hand.
  A: No.
  The trigger for the trait is "After a battle resolution ends..."
  This is a very specific point in time when resolving battles, found just after Step C, section 3 here. Ben Higgins, "Shiba's Guidance Xp - and card drawing", 30 Apr 2012
