Rules Q&A
- Q: And, finally, how does Bayushi Kachiko (exp. 3) work? She cannot cancel a Shosuro Nishiko ability unless her controller have so cards in hand that the Nishiko's controller desist to do his action? Or Kachiko's controller can cancel one time and plays an action?
A: Nishiko's action is a Battle action, so Kachiko can cancel it each time it's used. Since discarding Nishiko is an effect, not a cost, of her action, she stays in play and can attempt her action again later that battle.
