[Ruling] Kuni Wasteland

By Bayushi Shunsuke, in L5R LCG: Rules Discussion

Which keywords does Kuni Wasteland prevent? Covert is obviously initiated and can be prevented if face up. Will Pride or Courtesy be stopped?

Can I play a character using Disguise while attacking this province?

Does the ability affect the opponent or their cards? Can I trigger abilities on characters not in play, e.g. Feral Ningyo?

Kuni Wasteland stops all keywords on (in-play) characters during conflicts at the province—that mostly means covert and pride, though it could also stop courtesy and/or sincerity if a character were to leave play during the conflict.

It does not prevent keywords or abilities on out-of-play characters, such as disguised or Feral Ningyo (those abilities continue to work as normal).

Does Kuni Wasteland stop forced triggered abilities?

Kuni Wasteland does not prevent Forced abilities from triggering (as those abilities are triggered by the game).
