This is probably a stupid question but I wanted to make sure I knew the ruling!

Say my opponent plays Job Overcomes and I have to discard an evil card.  If I only have my one brigade evil character in play and only a negate in hand, can I choose to discard my character, then because it is my intitive because of removal then use my negate to negate the discarding of my character?

Job Overcomes
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Blue • Ability: 2 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: For each evil brigade your opponent has in play, that opponent must discard an evil card from hand or battle. You may draw a card. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Job 42:10 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Common)

I would think you would because its still your opponent's card discarding it

I would rule that you have initiative to negate.  When you are losing the battle by removal, that you did not cause(which in this case applies, you may have chosen the target, but your opponent pulls the trigger) you always have initiative to negate.

But that comes back to the me choosing to discard one of my own demons, but it doesn't count for Tartaros purposes though.

You merely chose the target, your opponent still Discarded the card.

The wording on this can be quite confusing, but this is the way it's played.

So I can play a negate if I choose my evil character for discard?

I would rule that you could.

OK, thanks guys, I thought I had that ruled right, just wanted to make sure!
