Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, “Temple of the Seekers Temple • Legacy • Singular Bow this card: Produce 2 gold. Open: Target a Ring you control and destroy this card: Search your deck and discard pile for a Ring. Show it. Put it in your hand.” [MRP, Samurai Edition, 25 July 2007] Comprehensive Rules, Samurai Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, May 2009, p. 160
Rules Q&A
- Q: If I put a ring from my discard pile into my hand (via Seeking the Path or Temple of the Seekers) during the same turn that I used its ability, can I use its ability again? That is, does it "forget" the fact that it was used earlier during the turn?
I initially thought that the ring would "remember" because I was under the impression that face-up cards that go back to hand remain face-up, but the following ruling on the retrieval of a copy of Brothers-in-arms seem to contradict that: http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=74793&p=979465&hilit=deadly+orders#p979494

A: Cards in your hand are now considered face down, regardless of what state they were in before they got into your hand.
If you use the Ring of Void by discarding it, put it into your hand via Temple to Seekers, you may use its ability again. Dan Jacobson, "Rings, Seeking the Path, Temple of the Seekers", 3 May 2009
