wotc1 Jun 2005
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. A player can't discard the same Pure Intentions twice for the same discard effect.
wotc1 Jun 2005
The first part of Pure Intentions is the effect of casting Pure Intentions. The second part is a triggered ability that triggers whenever an opponent's spell or ability causes a player to discard Pure Intentions.
wotc1 Jun 2005
Neither part cares who decides which card to discard — only the controller of the spell or ability matters.

Discarding Pure Intentions to your own spell or ability doesn't trigger its abilities.
