Rules Q&A
- Q: So if the MTP doesn't keep the personalities' name and all traits go away, that means if i were to cover onto say Bayushi Kaukatsu, then he'd no longer be unique or Bayushi Kaukatsu, so my opponet could bring his into play? And could i bring out my exp. Bayushi Kaukatsu?
A: Yes. Martin Lund, "Rules for 24 September 2004", 27 Sep 2004 - Q: Bayushi Paneki x4 and Bayushi Kaukatsu x2 are triggered traits
A: That's completely true. Paneki is not an appropriate example as he does not modify an Action's effects or costs at all. I've amended that statement. However, there are effects like those of the Crab's Strength, Kuni Daigo, or Shosuro Kamatari that all add additional costs to actions when you play them. Cards like "Deeds, Not Words" similarly add additional effects to actions whenever they resolve. You don't take any those additional costs or effects into consideration when you look for a card in a hand or discard pile with that particular cost or effect due to Blind Cards.
