Rules Q&A
- Q: That is to ask when playing the copy of Brute Force would the physical copy of the card exit my hand and immediately change Wareta's force to 11 thus destroying the opposing personality, or does everything on the card get checked prior to it leaving my hand thus bowing the opposing personality?
A: Per Resolution and entering-play areas, "When taking an action on an Action card, resolving the effects of an Event, or checking conditions and costs of a card entering play, the card in question exists in a special temporary area; face-up but out of play" which means that when you resolve the effect of "[Destroying] the enemy Personality if your Personality has more than twice his Force" Wareta no Oni has 11 force as the card is no longer in your hand but in the resolution area. Doruk Özaydın, "Wareta no Oni and Brute Force", 4 Mar 2008 - Q: If Justly earned Victory is played in a battle with Wareta no Oni, is his force considered 12 now?
A: Mod reminder: When a card has mutiple actions, please specify which one you're talking about. Thanks!
Assuming we're talking about the second ability, "Negate all current Force bonuses and penalties to cards at this battlefield from actions" (emphasis added), the force penalty Wareta no Oni gives to itself is due to a trait, not an action.
