Foul Play clarification

Guys,



I had a question pop up at US Nationals regarding Zoroark’s Foul Play attack.

The player wanted to know if he could do the additional damage copying Landorus EX (Boundary’s Crossed) Land’s Judgment attack?

After puzzling the text for a bit we got the right call that the attack did 80 unless the Zoroark had at least one fighting energy to discard.



You might revise the Compendium answer below to include these situations.



Foul Play (Zoroark - Black and White)

Q. Do I have to meet the energy requirements for the attack I choose with Zoroark's "Foul Play"?
A. No, you do not have to meet the energy requirements for the attack. However, if the attack says you must do something or the attack does nothing, that part still has to be done. (Black & White FAQ; Apr 28, 2011 PUI Rules Team)



A. No, you do not have to meet the energy requirements for the attack UNLESS there is a specific cost to do additional damage or cause a special condition. However, if the attack says you must do something or the attack does nothing, that part still has to be done. (Black & White FAQ; Apr 28, 2011 PUI Rules Team)

Well, we do cover it in one of our Meta rulings.
We'll take it under consideration.
