Rules Q&A

• Q: This came up in a game and I think my interpretation at the time was wrong, so I wanted to find out. Here's the situation:
  I have Bayushi Misaki in play and Twisted Fate is in effect. My opponent assigns a couple personalities to attack me, we have a battle, etc., and then he goes to Dynasty. After his Dynasty phase, the additional action phase from Twisted Fate occurs and I use Misaki's Open action on one of the personalities that attacked me. My interpretation was that this personality would be dishonored and lose honor, because although they were assigned to attack, that occurred before Misaki's action and wouldn't prevent the effects of that action. Having thought it over since then, I think that's mistaken and that her action only cares if the personality was assigned to attack during the turn, regardless of if that attack took place before or after she used her action.
  Which interpretation is correct?
  Relevant text: Open: If it is another player's turn, target one of his Personalities: Before this phase ends, straighten him. Before this turn ends, if the Personality was not assigned to attack this turn, dishonor him and his controller loses Honor equal to his base Personal Honor.
  Thanks!
  A: Your second interpretation is correct. Brook Cunningham, "Bayushi Misaki and Twisted Fate", 13 Sep 2012

  Rugashi Bazaar text:
  Bolded emphasis. It seems to me that Rugashi Bazaar does care when the honor loss occurs according to the text of the card. If Rugashi cared about when the action was taken, wouldnt it read something like 'If you have lost action from an action _that was taken in the action phase_'. If the above ruling was correct, that would mean that something like Bayushi Rentatsu would trigger Bazaar every turn, and that just doesnt seem right to me.
  A: Rugashi Bazaar checks when the honour loss happens: it does not care when the action was taken that created it.
  The honour loss from Misaki's action does not satisfy the condition in Rugashi Bazaar's ability, since the loss does not occur during the Action Phase, and similarly with Bayushi Rentatsu's ability. Alex Jones, "Bayushi Misaki vs. Rugashi Bazaar", 9 Aug 2012
