Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "The Kami Watch Over Me 5G 3FV Ritual Limited: Bow this Shugenja and any number of your other Shugenja such that their combined Chi is greater than 10. Take all cards in your discard piles that have not resolved or been in play this game and shuffle them back into your decks."

- Does not reshuffle cards which were "discarded from play". Even though they are discards and not considered dead, they were once in play. [card text and netnews, 9/11/99] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 36
Rules Q&A
- Q: Hey,
I've been milling on this for the past few days.
As you all know, WoL saw some cards that have effects when revieled as focus cards eg: Weigh the Cost & Misdirection etc.
My question is, I focus away the above cards, I attach the spell 'The Kami Watch Over Me' to a random Shug & cast it, are these cards shuffled back into my deck or do they remain in my discard pile?
A: They are shuffled back. Only actions resolve, and cards focused in a duel are not "in play". Martin Lund, "Rules for 7 December 2004", 10 Dec 2004
