A player, 24 November 2005

Rullings seem to be that Broken Sword of the Lion successfully dishonours all your personalities, even those face down in decks in spite of the rullings that all face down out of play cards llose all card memory.

What happens if I play Broken Sword of the Lion, and then one of my personalities get's rehonoured before being shuffled back into my dynasty deck?

Reshuffling effects include: Misdirection, Search For Advantage, Tormented Plains.

The ruling that effects that work on things you "own" affect everything, including cards in decks, is changing slightly as of now.

One time effects with no duration (e.g., Broken Sword of the Lion) occur, but are immediately negated on face-down, out of play cards. (Yes, this is a reversal, before anyone asks.) Effects to cards you "own" that are applied continuously (e.g., Shiro no Soshi, Experienced Yoritomo Katoa) will effect face-down, out of play cards as usual; no change there.
