Rules Q&A

• Q: If my opponent duels Ninube Shiho and takes control of him with Kokujin inexperienced and after my next action uses Ninube Shiho's ability Ninja Battle: Put Shiho on top of your Dynasty deck (face-down). Put all cards without attachments in a target enemy Personality's unit on the bottom of their appropriate deck.
  Does Shiho go to the top of my opponents "The current controller of shiho" deck or the owners "my" deck and in the case of a kotei would shiho going in the opponents deck count as having a marked card in his deck, especially if he does something to shuffle his dynasty deck, like a Jade pearl Inn due to most likely different sleeves for the cards.
  We had two spiders playing each other and were curious about how to resolve this unusual chain of events.
  Kokujin's effect
  Battle: Kokujin challenges a target enemy Personality. Destroy the duel's loser or, if Kokujin wins, you may destroy one of your Personalities (at any location) to take control of the loser (he joins Kokujin's army).
  Thank You!
  A: Cards can only ever enter their owners' decks or discard piles. If a card is about to go to one of those places that is not its owner's, it goes to its owner's instead. Brook Cunningham, "Kokujin and Ninube Shiho", 18 Apr 2014
