Hato-Gurama + Jurojin's Blessing

L5R CCG Rules board, 29 March 2013

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

I think I may have accidentally been cheating by playing this wrong. If I look at the top card of my deck with Jurojin's Blessing, and it is a Hato-Gurama, assuming I have cards in my hand, can I actually discard it from the top of my deck?

No, a strict reading of Hato Gurama's text suggested me that you may not choose to discard it even with Jurojin's Blessing's Limited ability. Ducks you see are ducks you keep.
