Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, “Three Man Alliance Plain Plains • Singular. Reaction: After one of your Personalities enters play, bow this card: Target him. Attach a card to him from your hand (paying all costs). If he attached the card, draw a card.” [MRP, Samurai Edition, 25 July 2007] Comprehensive Rules, Samurai Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, May 2009, p. 164
- Cannot be combined with Supply Outpost. [ZF, 25 June 2007, ML, 8 August 2007] Comprehensive Rules, Samurai Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, May 2009, p. 164
Rules Q&A
- Q: Can these two be used in conjuction with one another? (Can you pay 4 less for an attachment, attach it, and draw a card?)
A: No.
You're using two separate effects to attach the attachment. Each instance of attaching is resolved completely before the next begins. Alex Jones, "Three Man Alliance Plain + Secluded Outpost", 21 Aug 2009 - Q: Can the following abilities be used to attach the same item, thus having a reduced cost and drawing a card?
Three Man Alliance Plain - "Reaction: After one of your Personalities enters play, bow this card: Target him. Attach a card to him from your hand (paying all costs). If he attached a card, draw a card. "
Supply Outpost - "Bow this card: Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold. If this pays for a Personality, you may attach a Follower, Item, or Spell to him from your hand after he enters in play, reducing its Gold cost by 3 until it attaches."
A: No. You resolve one or the other. By resolving one, you've put the card in play. That means the other one won't have anything to do.
You can see another recent example here. Martin Lund, "Supply Outpost & Three Man Alliance Plain", 8 Aug 2007 - Q: Can Supply Outpost combine with Three Man Alliance Plain for a single attachment on a Personality coming into play(?)
A: No. They're two separate effects. Zen Faulkes, "Supply Outpost + Three Man Alliance Plain", 25 Jun 2007
