Rules Q&A
- Q: Also he may only focus once, with this can Kakita play Smoke and Mirrors or ditch Wrath of the Emperor (since both are "instead of focusing"), and if so, can he focus 2 (or is it 3) more cards with either of them or did they take up the entire ability of focusing thrice?
A: It takes up the entire opportunity to Focus, regardless of how many cards you are allowed to put down as a single Focus. Martin Lund, "Rules for 6 December 2004", 10 Dec 2004 - Q: Also he may only focus once, with this can Kakita play Smoke and Mirrors or ditch Wrath of the Emperor (since both are "instead of focusing"), and if so, can he focus 2 more cards with either of them or did they take up the entire ability of focusing thrice?
A: Kakita does not focus thrice. He focuses once, using up to 3 cards instead of just 1.
And no, you he can't play a Reaction instead of Focusing - this would clearly violate the rule laid down by his Trait. Martin Lund, "Rules for 4 Decemeber 2004", 9 Dec 2004 - Q: It's my turn to Focus: I chose to react with Wrath of the Emperor ("Reaction: Instead of focusing in a duel, ..."). My opponent plays Fall on Your Knees. What next?
