Abomb placed in opponents territory.

Opponent draws from Kindness.
(trigger off Abomb completes)
Opponent interrupts with 2khorses and plays Forgotten History.

What happens to Abomb triggers in this situation?

and the d2 from horsies? never trigger b/c of end the battle card?

The d2 two from horses should stand, nothing is being played to interrupt it. This d2, however, does not trigger Abom if you control Abom.

I am suggesting that you may draw before you end the battle.

I disagree that the D2 should trigger Abom. When the horses D2, Abom triggers but can't insert itself before Horses completes, so it's pending. FH comes around and ends the battle, causing all pending abilities to fizzle. No Abom.

I am suggesting that you may draw before you end the battle.

I'm not sure I understand why that would be a concern. You would have to draw before playing the next enhancement, right? Or are you saying that you can do the "ItB, Draw2, and Play Next" in any order you want (if you even wanted to)?

I think Pol is saying that pending abilities don't carry over phases, however can't triggered abilities trigger even during battle resolution (such as Hormah activating when the evil character is discarded by numbers). However I don't know if an ability triggered during battle carries over to battle resolution, and Pol is suggesting it doesn't, and that makes sense to me.

Wait... There was a time when the game wasn't confusing???

 I misunderstood RTSM's intent.  I read "trigger" as "activate" and didn't understand why Gabe was disputing the d2.  Ignore my post, lol.
