turn player first chooses the required number
of cards without checking their information,
followed by the non-turn player choosing the
required number of cards. If the chosen cards
are to be revealed, it is done after both players
have made their choices.
1.3.5. If anything asks a player to choose a number,
then you must choose zero or a positive integer,
if not specified. You cannot choose any fractions
or negative numbers.
1.3.5.1. If a number is specified for the upper limit
in a form such as “up to X”, unless a number is
specified for the lower limit, you can choose
zero.
1.3.6. When a numerical value is changed to be
greater than its current value by a rule or effect,
that value is considered to have increased.
Similarly, if a value is changed to be less than its
current value, that value is considered to have
decreased.
1.3.6.1. When there is an instruction to “increase” a
value, and the resulting value after carrying out
that instruction is less than before the effect
was applied, that value is considered to have
decreased instead of increasing, and similarly
for the reverse.
1.3.7. When an object such as a player or a card
starts an action, the following events occur in
according to the content of that action.
1.3.7.1. If an object A performs a single action X,
an “A did X” event occurs.
1.3.7.2. If an object A starts an action X that is
continuously performed, an “A did X” event
occurs, and an “A is doing X” state is
maintained while X is being performed.
- For example, when a rear-guard attacks,
the “rear-guard attacks” event occurs, and
the “rear-guard is attacking” state is
maintained until the end of that battle.
1.3.7.3. If an object A starts an action X that is
continuously performed on object B, the “A did
X to B” and “X was done to B by A” events
occur, and the “A is doing X to B” and “X is
being done to B by A” states are maintained
while X is being performed.
- For example, when a vanguard attacks a
rear-guard, the “vanguard attacks a rear-
guard” and “rear-guard is attacked by a
vanguard” events occur, and the
“vanguard is attacking a rear-guard” and
“rear-guard is being attacked by a
vanguard” states are maintained until the
end of that battle.
1.3.7.4. With regards to 1.3.7.2 and 1.3.7.3, even if
the action that was continuously being
performed has ended, the “did” event that
occurred at its start is not canceled.
- For example, if a rear-guard in the back
