Hello. Just seeking clarification on the following: Kakita and focusing rules: Do all of the focused cards have to come from either my hand or the top of my deck or can I split (2 hand-1 deck, 1 hand-2 deck)? How does The Shadow's Claw interact with Kakita's trait, if at all? How do you resolve multiple copies of The Shadow's Claw? Do you resolve them simultaneously or successively? Thanks.

1. I would imagine that the 3 cards could come from anywhere a normal focus could come from, depending on the ruleset you're playing under, and if there are multiple potential locations, it can come from any of them in any combination. 2. Kakita only gets to focus once. If you use The Shadow's Claw to replace that focus with its effects "instead", then you don't get his special chance to focus with 3 cards nor any other chance to focus. 3. Multiple copies of The Shadow's Claw can't be played simultaneously. You have to play any Reactions to a trigger sequentially in turn. Also, if you try to React to the same focusing time with multiples, their effects would just continually replace each other ("instead"), not multiply.
