Kankuro Nus118 and the puppet platoon

[thanhrom89]

Well kankuro effect lets me search my deck for a puppet ninja card in my deck and put it in play after it was discarded due to the showdown. So it doesn't really say that i can't get the platoon one. Cause the platoon one is a puppet ninja. So i guesss it has to work either way right?

Platoons can only be put in play via Platoon'g. this will always be this way, and no effect will override it.

"... In that case, search for 1 "Puppet" Ninja card in your Deck and put it into play..."

since the effect states that the searched card must be put in play, and the Platoon rules state that you cannot put a Platoon in play due to Platoon'g, you could not search a "Puppet" Platoon.

if the effect stated that after you searched, "... you can..." put it into play, then you could search and put the card in your hand.
