Faceup a Mountaintop Statuary

By GetBackBaby, in L5R LCG: Rules Discussion

Hi all!

MS reaction is triggered when it turned faceup.

More of time it turned faceup in a province.

But what happen when this card is turned faceup when discarded? Like with Satoshi action or when discard a facedown card in a province after it broke.

The RR say that cards in discard pile are faceup and MS do not say "After this holding is turned faceup in a province " but only "After this holding is turned faceup".

Thx in advance,

GBB.

Ability

An ability is the special game text that a card contributes to the game. Card abilities fall into one of the following types: actions, constant abilities, interrupts, keywords, and reactions. Some interrupt and reaction abilities are also forced.

  • Card abilities only interact with, and can only target, cards that are in play, unless the ability specifically refers to an out-of-play area or element. Card abilities on characters, attachments, holdings, strongholds, and provinces can only be initiated or affect the game while they are in play unless the ability specifically refers to being used from an out-of-play area , or require that the card be out of play for the ability to resolve. Event cards and role cards implicitly interact with the game from an out-of-play area, as established by the rules of their cardtypes.

I am agree with that.

But the turning faceup of a card which is placed in a discard pile occurs before or after placed in?

The holding is never in play, so never has an opportunity to triggers its reaction.

At the point of being discarded by Satoshi or a province break, the holding is out of play (on deck, or facedown in a province).

Oh, right.

Thx Shunsuke.
