What happens if I use Rigorous Discipline to copy Shih Ho Quais abilities?
A. Not much. Shih Ho Quai’s ability says X = the number of Chi resources you have in your pool. Very few characters have Fighting scores equal to X, so X would be meaningless. On the other hand, if you gave an Undercover Cop Shih Ho Quai’s ability, the Undercover’s Fighting score would be equal to the number of Chi resources in its controller’s pool. The general rule revealed by this specific example is that if a character or other card has its value for X redefined, the second definition to resolve its effect supercedes the original definition.
