Rules Q&A
- Q: [OBH] Golden Oriole Wakizashi: How does this interact with cards being focussed face down from the top of the player's deck?
A: (Replying to a player: "@Brook Cunningham and this one?") Requires looking in the CR and also trying to find if it has been answered before and established precedent, neither of which I've had time to get to yet.
It doesn't. It only restricts cards focused from your hand (or Focus Pool, if playing Lotus Edition Rules). I have changed its text in the Oracle to refect this, based on similar previous questions and rulings I have made in the recent past regarding Armor of the Golden Samurai and Bo Stick (which also received similar clarifying wording in the Oracle, concurrent with those previous rulings).
