You brought this upon yourself. :)  You gave me a challenge, and I had
to accept it.

The letter 'A', of the Senryu Accumulated Rulings:

Abandon Fortunes,
Only if dynasty gone,
All empty ones count.

Access the Terrain,
Allies cannot enter it,
Many times per turn.

Agashi Gennai,
Not a self-contained action,
Play Ring of the Void.

Akiyoshi-X,
Saves self and shuffles top card,
Rest leave play 'til back.

Akodo Dagger,
Is just ornamentation,
Is not a Weapon.

Hall of Ancestors,
Reversed, see Yojiro-X,
Saves many people.

Explosives Master,
Can bring in one more for free,
Nepotism lives.

Ambush is attack,
No fighting during his peace,
Units are assigned.

Spear of the Naga,
Gets bonuses to Naga,
Is a Naga Card.

Your Ancestral Sword,
Causes honor gains and loss,
Played by anyone.

Sword of the Hantei,
See Imperial Favor,
More rulings are there.

The Scorpion Sword,
It is written correctly,
No honor gains here.

The Mantis Weapons,
Cloak of Night does not buy stuff,
You can pay later.

Animate the dead,
Allows wacky Haunted tricks.
Normal restrictions.

Annexation card,
Must choose yes or no right now,
Keep favor if no.

No! Another time!
Stops Kharmics and Poisoned Swords,
Hametsu still kills.

Architects of Wall,
Happens lots of times for all.
Kaiu work overtime.

The Armor of Earth,
Cancels Encircled Terrain,
But not Entrapping.

Armor of Sun-Tao,
Ninja thief steals terrains too,
See bow and straighten.

Emerald Champ Comes,
Normal guy, can be only one.
Yosai can copy.

Unicorns Arrive!
Does not help those assigned there.
Stupid ponies die.

Arrow Knows the Way!
Yes, combining is okay.
Death to the target.

Phoenix waterboy,
Can't redirect, can combine.
Targets everyone.

Togama the Scribe,
Normal enter play effects,
Can't copy some spells.

Avoid Fate is great,
Can't get duplicate event,
Williams said so.
