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.

If someone uses the open action on Jurojin's Blessing, do they need to show which card they got?

I think so because to related to searching but Jurojin's Blessing doesn't say "search" on it at all.

Searching is a bit of a red herring here.

Since the discard pile is face-up, its contents are known at all times. If a card goes to another location, the card has to be announced.
