Rulings
- A Personality affected by this spell will be moved to the caster's deck first, then Reactions can be played (e.g., Kisada's Shrine, which will take the Personality off the deck and put it into play). [JA, 29 April 2003] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 62
Rules Q&A
- Q: What are the results when a personality on whom Asahina's Blessing has been cast dies, and his controller wishes to use Kisada's Shrine to return him to play?
A: Asahina's Blessing moves him onto its caster's deck first, then the Kisada's Shrine's controller can react, which will take the Personality off the deck and put it into play. Jeff Alexander, "post for 29 April 2003", 30 Apr 2003 - Q: b) My opponent is also playing Phoenix. I target my opponent's Shiba Tsukune with the Asahina's Blessing and then Quest for Guidance. Does his Shiba Tsukune now go into my discard as my honorable dead?
A: She goes into your discard pile, but not as Honorable Dead. Jeff Alexander, "post for 31 March 2003", 1 Apr 2003
