Rules Q&A
- Q: (T)his ruling on Stone Guardian vs. unit destruction implies that The Last One's attachments may be similarly doomed.
A: Stone Guardian has a more limited wording. It negates the destruction of a single card, not an entire effect. Zen Faulkes, "The Last One vs. half breath strike and 1000 cut technique", 19 Mar 2011 - Q: Can I still destroy the unit that Stone Guardian is in with A Stain Cleansed if I decide to pay for the whole unit?
A: Yes. The action does not destroy the Stone Guardian, but that does not protect any other card in the unit.
http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Card_types#Attachments: "When a Personality leaves play, all his attached cards leave play in the same manner as he did. This leaving play is a rulebook effect contingent on the effect that took the Personality out of play, so the attachments are destroyed 'for' (as a consequence of) the original effect, but not 'by' the original effect." Zen Faulkes, "Stone Guardian's Unit vs. A Stain Cleansed", 16 Feb 2011
