A player, 17 September 2013
Well, I have two diferent questions associated to the same card, the Blessings of the Shi-Tien Yen-Wan and controling other players cards.
First one, if I have a Shadow dragon exp2, and control a personality in a battle, then my shadow dragon dies in the same battle (but not the personality I got control over). Then at the beggining of my next turn I put my Shadow Dragon on top of my deck (so he loses memory I think). Then I bring him into play and in another battle I use his ability, since Shadow Dragon lost his memory, would I keep both personalities?
In the same process with Sachina, where I use her ability, then she dies and come back through the blessings process, I guess she would be able to reuse her ability although it is once per game right?
Thanks!

Correct on both accounts.
