I think i've been playing this correctly, but still I'll state the situation for confirmation.
LS has Yoda + Makashi Training (giving Yoda targeted strike). I can just take the targeted strike off Yoda with Virago and Yoda loses the targeted strike for the phase (even though the enhanchment "keeps" giving targeted strike to Yoda)?
Then a question that I'm not so sure about:
Can I make a unit lose a keyword the unit doesn't have? That would allow me to have Virago gain any keyword I want because of the second part of Virago's action.
..Then, this unit gains that keyword until the end of the phase.
Ok but my point was this...does "that keyword" in the action text refers to the "lost" keyword or does it refer to the keyword you named? But I guess you never actually name a keyword you indicate one on the unit and "that keyword" refers to that one. I guess that's settled for me.
But stealing Yoda's targeted strike is ok right?
With a Then statement you don't get the Then effect unless everything prior to it occurs. So a unit has to lose a keyword to gain it. So yes stealing t-strike works, but stealing a keyword a unit does not have (via enhancement or objective or what not) does not work. I wish the card was worded more like Jubbas, this unit loses chosen keyword and can not gain it until the end of the phase, but oh well.
Thx for the reply. But are you saying that I was unable to take Yoda's targeted strike provided by the Makashi training? In other words does the keyword have to be printed on the card?
This was in the official response from ffg:
Question:
How exactly does section 2.12 of the FAQ interact with Virago? Specifically, if a card is gaining multiple instances of a keyword, does Virago only steal one of those instances, leaving the original card still with the keyword, or does 2.12 effectively mean that multiple instances of the keyword are just one instance, allowing Virago to steal all of the instances at once?
Answer:
Follow up question:
How does that interact with Edge? Using the example in the FAQ, could Virago steal Edge (3), or would it have to choose between stealing edge (2) or edge (1)?
Answer:
"Edge (2)" and "Edge (1)" are the keywords the card has, so Virago could choose either of those to steal.
I take this as if you steal a key word from a unit, no matter how it is gained (printed on the card or from an enhancement or objective), he gains the word and they lose it for the phase.
Also they need to have the keyword for it to be able to be stolen
Yes and looking at Virago as adding a -1 modifier solves a lot of issues. You could in theory give the targeted unit the keyword a second time and it would regain that keyword.

Am i right that Virago can discard enemy pilots as well as Tarkin?
No. Virago only targets units, but a pilot that has entered play as an enhancement is only an enhancement and not a unit. If Virago could target enhancements, then yes, taking away a pilot's Pilot(X) keyword would force it to be discarded.
What if you take away the vehicle keyword?
"Vehicle" has no inherent abilities, so it's a trait rather than a keyword. The keywords are Edge, Elite, Limited, No Enhancements, Pilot, Protect, Shielding, and Targeted Strike.
