Rules Q&A

• Q: Do effects that go on or trigger from card effects Like Yasuki Jinn-Kuen (experienced) now go under the same ruling as adeiko or is that only reactions?
  per viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62176
  A: No. Jinn-Kuen does not mention any Action resolving, not even by the "Action's effects resolve," wording.
  The trigger is a particular card effect taking place - not an Action resolving that had such an effect.
  Ergo, Jinn-Kuen could stop a Delayed Effect that destroyed someone, and even do it in the middle of the resolution of an Action with multiple effects. Martin Lund, "Effects and delayed card effects", 19 Oct 2007
• Q: First off, let me appologize if this has been asked before (as I can only imagine that it has been) but I couldn't find it anywhere.
  One of our Crab players wanted to know if you could prevent the death that was delayed through Razor of the Dawn Castle with Yasuki Jinn-Kuen. The specific example follows:
  Player A: Hired Killer Hida Bob (Hero). Player B: Uses Razor of the Dawn Castle to Prevent the Death Player B: Yasuki Jinn-Kuen Political Open to negate the destruction of the next death caused by another players card effect. ... turn ends.
  Razor of the Dawn Castle Before another player's card's effect destroys one of your Samurai: Once per turn, you may delay the destruction until the current turn ends.
  Yasuki Jinn-Kuen Political Open: Target one of your Hero Personalities. Before the next time this turn another player's card effect would destroy him, negate the destruction, move him home, and bow him.
  Thanks for your time and your speedy response.
  For the Lion!
  A: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=62504 also applies here. The source of the destruction is not changing, simply being delayed until a later point. Chris Fuchs, "Razor of the Dawn Castle + Yasuki Jinn-Kuen", 15 Oct 2007
