What Philistine Outpost ruling?

This isn't a "once per game" ability and she'd reset in the deck, so she shouldn't return +2/2.  I also think the heal triggers on defeat but won't work unless it's a discard, by the definition of heal.

She doesn't reset though, not until all abilities complete. She was triggered, she gets to complete.

So when you draw her and play her she gains 2/2 immediatly?

Actually, upon closer reading, the return part is a separate ability not contingent upon anything. Every time she enters battle, she would return to territory increased 2/2...if she doesn't get a play-as, imagine the potential! Beef her up real huge and then place a SA Negater on her. Use a placer to give her Blessings and every other turn attack with like a 15/14 FbtN White hero!

This seems awesome XD

It does seem to me though that it is two seperate abilites. But it would be cool if somebody from PTB would come and help with this lol

Hey,

Yay for sentence fragments used in poorly worded really old cards!

I'm going to guess that "Return to territory" is clarifying text of what normally happens to a hero in battle that is defeated (by being discarded) and then healed.  And that the abilities increased by 2/2 is contingent on the heal (similar to Elijah's Bones of Bread of Life).  If the first time Jarius' Daughter is defeated she is defeated in some way other than being discarded (and assuming she isn't poisoned or diseased at the time) she would not be healable thus her ability would do nothing.  If the first time Jarius' Daughter is defeated she is defeated in some way other than being discarded and she is poisoned or diseased at the time, the poison or disease would be removed and she would gain 2/2, but her destination would be unchanged.
