Rules Q&A
- Q: Is attaching an action? If yes, then, Yasuki Jinn-Kuen (Experienced 2) can effectively negate the opponents action of attaching the infiltrator to one of his merchant's?
"Political Reaction: After an action targets your Merchant, pay 2 Gold: Negate the action's effects."
A: Per the errata on Cultist Infiltrator, yes, that is an action, and yes, Jinn-Kuen may negate its effects. Jon Palmer, "Cultist Infiltrator", 24 Sep 2012 - Q: If I have a merchant in the discard pile and my opponent targets it with Fukuzo xp's ability, can I react with Jinn-Kuen xp2's ability to negate it?
Yasuki Jinn-Kuen xp2: Political Reaction: After an action targets your Merchant, pay 2 Gold: Negate the action's effects.
Fukuzo xp: Open: Remove a target Personality in any player's discard pile from the game: Fukuzo wears his skin. Until the next time this game this ability is used, Fukuzo copies one keyword, and one ability that does not itself copy abilities, from the Personality.
Thank you for you time!
A: Yes, as long as Jinn-Kuen is in play.
Jinn-Kuen doesn't state that the Merchant must be in play when targeted for his ability to trigger. Ben Higgins, "Negation in the discard pile (Jinn-Kuen + Fukuzo)", 12 Mar 2012 - Q: I am specifically curious about Yasuki Jinn-Kuen Xp2's political reaction. Political Reaction: After an action targets your Merchant, pay 2 Gold: Negate the action's effects.
Would that stop both from happening?
A: Yes. Jinn-Kuen's Reaction will negate all effects of the action on Winds of Dismissal, including the honor gain. Ben Higgins, "Winds of Dismissal", 24 Feb 2012 - Q: If i target someone with Winds of dismissal and they play a negation what is negated? is it just their honor loss or does my honor gain from using an Air shugneja get negated as well?
Couldn't find where to reply to my own post for some reason so am just editing it.

A: Short Answer: Depends.
With the various cards out there that have some form of negation on them (in the Emperor arc alone, not to mention Legacy play!), it's all but impossible to say without an actual card to compare their interaction against.
If the negation card simply states, "Negate its effects," then both honor loss and honor gains will be negated.
Any other wording could mean a multitude of different interactions.
If there is a more specific card interaction or two you are concerned about, please feel free to ask about them in particular by posting another thread. We'll be happy to address it if you do! Ben Higgins, "Winds of Dismissal", 24 Feb 2012
