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.

What happens if I play Planned Adversity and search for an Acrobat Troupe but don't have the 6 gold to pay for the Troupe? Does the Troupe get discarded or shuffled back into the deck?
Also, can I fail to find a holding to put into play even if I have one in the deck and can pay for it? Sometimes I just want to shuffle my dynasty deck.

See Glossary, Search: If an effect directs a player to search for a card and play it, and it cannot be played, it is discarded instead. If a player searches for a particular description of card and does not select any, the search effect fails, with special consequences. For the rest of the game, any of his or her further attempts to search for that description of card will fail, even if a card matching that description re-enters the deck or other searched area.
