Questions for LSJ

Two questions for LSJ: 1. How does the NRA ruling affect mask of 1K faces? (Situation: Zebulon is Bleeding. Gilbert Duane plays Mask of 1K faces. Zebulon then untaps. Can Zebulon now bleed again?) 2. If I wake twice between my turn and my next untap, what happens when I use the Fragment of the Book of Nod? Is my max hand size 5 or 7? Thanks in advance, Ian

You just can't _replace_ the cards. Your hand size is still 7, but the "automatic replace-o" machine is turned down a couple of notches for a while. If some other effect makes you replace those cards earlier, then you still have a 7 hand size. Things that reduce or increase your hand size say so specifically (Elder Library and that Sabbat master), and this is different from not replacing a card. As always, LSJ has the last word.

The old RT ruled on this is RTR 961113 (Jon Wilkie's Weekly Rulings, Volume I) regarding the burned PAs that were (then) not replaced until the end of the turn. It was a good ruling then, and serves well now: QUESTION: Do the burned PAs count against a players hand size for purposes of FragNod, Barrens, etc.? ANSWER: Yes. In general, any cards that you currently are not replacing count against your hand size until they are replaced. [ quoted text not captured ]
