Rules Q&A

• Q: I have Kanashimi in play, and play Stolen Records. If one of the cards that my opponent draws is the Ring of the Void, do they get to play it immediately[?]
  A: No. Stolen Records is still resolving (Ring of the Void card text).

• Q: Does using the Underhand to search for a Political Action card and put it in your hand count as 'drawing a card' for such things as Kanashimi? What about Walking the Way? Does that count as 'drawing a card'? Togashi's Shrine?
