Rules Q&A

• Q: [Open/ legacy]sorry if this is a silly question, im curious how the governor's estate (stronghold) interacts with the ninjutsu traint on alot of ninja cards, can you still use ninjutsu if you put them into play with the strong holds ability, and if you bring them in with the 4 cost from ninjutsu do they become both and holdind and a 2/3 personality, i tried looking some stuff up about it but it isnt clear how the cards interact with each other https://images.oracleofthevoid.com/l5r/9b/d7/printing_8106_1_details.jpg
  A: As Kempy said, this is a pretty niche. If you're Drafting Diamond/Lotus era cards but using the Emperor-era Draft box instead of the contemporary Nanashi Mura... I'd just kinda decide among yourselves how it should run? :/
  (Replying to a player: "in the legacy rules for ninjutsu it specifies that the ninjutsu rules only are in effect if there is an ability that allows at least one player to look at the face down card with ninjutsu (probably shiro no soshi) I'm sure it could be possible to create a convoluted situation to get around this but …") Ah, thanks. I didn't remember that particular added clause in the Legacy Rules.
  a player So, there would be no interaction, unless you're playing some odd mix wherein you have a Governor's Estate with Ninjutsu Personalities in it, and one of your opponents is playing Shiro no Soshi. But again, as I said above, if you're that far outside standard play, at that point you can just decide amongst yourselves as players. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 13 Oct 2026
