Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Blue • Ability: 1 / 1 • Class: None • Special Ability: If all of your human Heroes in play are Genesis Heroes, Genesis Enhancements cannot be negated. Otherwise, discard Benjamin after battle. • Play As: If all of your human Heroes in play are Genesis Heroes, Genesis enhancements cannot be negated. Otherwise, discard Benjamin after battle. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Patriarch, Son of Jacob • Verse: Genesis 49:27 • Availability: Faith of our Fathers booster packs (None)

I'm playing against some1 with a Genesis deck.  I band in their Benjamin and I'm use'n an all teal deck.  Does Ben get dc'd after battle.  What is the definition of "your" in the sa.

possession + control. you dont control benjamin, so he doesnt get dc'd after battle.

Fixed.

Your
Several cards in Redemption® refer to cards that are “your” cards (e.g., your Priest, your Heroes, your demons, your warrior-class Evil Character, ). The possession and control of a card is implied by the use of the word “your”.

Fine, I switched it back to "possession", but you still made a mistake. You DO control Benjamin, you DON'T possess him.

Benjamin does get Discarded. Not all of your heroes are Genesis, so the "if not" kicks in. Benjamin's self-discard is not contingent upon him being "yours."

I would say Ben is discarded if you band to him.

See: Banding to an opponents Wandering spirit, then to your demons. If the opponent drops AoCP, your demon goes under the deck, but WS is discarded, as he is not yours.

If Ben was to say "If all your heroes are genesis, blah blah, if not, discard your Benjamin." then he would not die.

The way it sounds like, lamb last point is the same as the ability itself.  In that case, Benny isn't discarded.

Otherwise=if not

Another way to look at it:

If
   All your heroes are Genesis

Then
   All enh are cbn

Else
   Discard Benny

Since the if statement is true, then the then statement follows and not the else statement.

Also, it looks like you will also get to play cbn enhancements on their Benny :p

Let me use if then statements to compare two versions:

If all your heroes are genesis (This statement can be met, but is false. Heroes in your territory are indeed yours, and are therefore counted for this ability if you use it)
Then all enh are CBN.
Else, discard ben. (This statement can be met, so ben is discarded even if he is not your card).

compare to this:

Let me use if then statements to compare two versions:

If all your heroes are genesis
Then all enh are CBN.
Else, discard your ben. (This statement can not be met, as the card is not yours.)

You broke it down correctly, but idk where you're drawing your conclusions from. If you band an opponent's Ben into battle and you're using Teal, not all your Heroes are Genesis so the "else" does trigger.

I was going off the basis that "your" refers to the owner of the card and not the person who is using the banding.  I haven't research enough rulings to completely understand what "your/owner/player/etc" means.

Cards are always read from the perspective of the controller. That's why if I have 1 soul and my opponent has 0 but has TGT out, my TGT Heroes gain the ignore powers.
