Rules Q&A
- Q: My question is about The Longest Night. I was playing with a ninja deck the other day, and the question came up on how long the second effect of the event lasts.
The Longest Night says, "Until your straighten phase two turns after this one, any effect which would negate a Kolat or Ninja action is cancelled. Kolat and Ninja cards have their gold costs reduced by two."
So, how long does the cost reduction last?
A: Same duration as the first sentence. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 16 Feb. 204", 18 Feb 2004 - Q: 5.- The cost reduction for Ninja an Kolat cards that "The Longest Night" produces last until the end of turn, isn't it?
A: No. It's also "Until your straighten phase two turns after this one". I know, I know... Bad wording. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 6 March 2001", 18 Mar 2001
