Rules Q&A
- Q: The question is : at the end of the turn, since the destruction was not negated, but Kuon was destroyed and returned back, does The Mountain Does Not Move, still affects him, and does he died in terrible pain, tough kisada really wanted hard to keep him alive ?
A: The Mountain Does Not Move does not care if you left play and returned. If you are in play at the end of the turn you were affected by The Mountain Does Not Move, it will destroy you. Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 May 2004", 9 May 2004 - Q: Does "The Mountain Does Not Move" stave off Chi Death until the end of the turn, or does it work more like "Feign Death" in this regard?
A: The Personality will still have 0 Chi after his destruction is negated, so he will just try to die again. Jeff Alexander, "rules for 19 March 2004", 20 Mar 2004 - Q: 1. Yoritomo Kalilea vs The Mountain Does Not Move Relevant text on Kalilea: Actions on that card may not be used for the rest of the turn. Relevant text on The Mountain Does Not Move: Destroy the personality at the end of the turn. Situation: My opponent's turn, he bows Kalilea and target's my Kisada's Shrine. He then attacks and destroys one of my personalities who has Yu with an action. I play The Mountain Does Not Move. My personality survives for the rest of the turn. Question: Does Kalilea's negation of Kisada's Shrine wear off in time for me to ressurrect my personality?
A: The active player gets to decide. End of turn *is* when "for the rest of the turn" effects wear off, so the active player decides in what order the two effects will trigger. Vaughn Derderian, "Post for July 15th, 2003", 15 Jul 2003
