- Neither part cares who decides which card to discard — only the controller of the spell or ability matters. (2005-06-01)
- If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes a player to discard multiple cards, such as Waking Nightmare or Three Tragedies, Pure Intentions doesn't return to hand until its triggered ability has resolved.
