You choose one opposing player just as this card is coming into play and it only affects that one player. This choice is not changed even if this card changes controllers. It becomes useless but stays in play if the target player leaves play. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
If multiple effects modify your hand size limit, apply them in the order they enter play. For example, if both this and Recycle are in play, the most recent in play decides your hand size. [D'Angelo 2001/05/21]
