Spirit of Xehanort 0 Posted August 5, 2009 This is how the card reads: [When this card participates in a challenge, you may choose a "Hollow Bastion" card from your discard pile and put it in your hand.] Now when I read this card for the first time, I believed what others did most likely; that this allows you to search your discard for Hollow Bastion "themed" cards. For those unfamiliar, that means cards that read Hollow Bastion next to the card name. This would have Leon make ALOT more sense and have him be much more playable. But from what I understand, they have ruled that Leon's text allows him to only search for Hollow Bastion world cards. Please fix this ruling, and allow him to search for Hollow Bastion themed cards instead. It isn't like it's a broken effect either. And even if you were to use the current ruling to help a World Racer deck, why on earth would a WR want to enter a challenge? Again, it doesn't make sense. The text should be taken as I first described. Please fix this card, for Leon's sake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marketing Director for Kingdom Hearts, Jaffer Batica, had bestowed upon me and a few other members the ability to make rulings in lue of FFG not being able to. That being said, I think it's safe to say that absolutely NO ONE agrees with the current ruling on Leon and other cards like him, not only that, but as you stated, it just doesn't make sense and goes against what I believe the card was originally meant to do. So, I'm officially making the ruling that cards like Leon, Pegasus, and Wishing Lamp WILL work how we all agree they should. Any other rules questions feel free to ask. Thanks. ~Mr. Dawn, Mod.

Kiro13 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Now also to add to this, does that mean Leon and get the new Merlin cause if I remember the world icon had Hollow Bastion but the name said Traverse Town lol. So are we saying he's Hollow Bastion? And I just want to make sure lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fairbanks 0 Posted August 5, 2009 That's a definite "maybe" the whole reason the word is there is to identify the world. If we want to go from a video game standpoint, Merlin wasn't a Hollow Bastion character, was he? I thought he was TT... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was in Hollow Bastion during the second game, if he doesn't count as Hollow Bastion wouldn't Leon and Yuffie have counted as Traverse Town since that's where they started in the game? Either way i'll run it to Jaffer, but it seems weird that it would be since there aren't any other Traverse Town cards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WayToTheDawn 0 Posted August 5, 2009 It's Hollow Bastion, the symbol is Hollow Bastion...seems like putting Traverse Town there is a misprint, wouldn't be the first time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
