Rulings
- "Mantis Clan" does not count as a Minor Clan since it's equivalent to "Yoritomo's Alliance". [DW, l5rinfo, 3/12/98] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 64
Rules Q&A
- Q: Jade ed. Rules Question: Do Toturi's Army and Yoritomo's Alliance count as "Clans" for purposes of cards like, Yoritomo's Armor?
A: Yes, they do. I found a contemporary Ruling that "Mantis Clan" does not count twice because it's equivalent to YA, so by extrapolation, YA (and other such "Clans" without "Clan" in their keyword) do count.
Also, sorry, you said "cards like" Yoritomo's Armor. You weren't just specifically asking about the armor. In that case, they DEFINITELY do. The armor was questionable, but "Clan" is the only term existent in Jade. "Faction" didn't come about until later. Brook Cunningham, "Sun and Moon #rules-questions", 6 Feb 2024
