Hezekiah's Signet Ring (Ki)

Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: No opponent may search any draw pile or discard pile. • Play As: Prevent opponents from searching any deck or discard pile. • Identifiers: None • Verse: II Chronicles 32:22 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Rare)
The REG sort of seems to make it a prevent, but then again, I'm pretty sure you can't prevent an opponent, so I would say it's a restrict. I think that's how I've always played it anyway.

Which, I have realized after looking it up, has an extra apostrophe in the play as. Scandalicious!
