There seems to be a lot of Q about this card, here's mine: If I exchange for two of my opponent's disciples Ala Stalks O' Flax, can I put them in my Fishing Boat? Then, next turn, can I put one beneath my deck to use Fishing Boat's ability?

Fishing Boat (Di)
Type: Fortress • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Set this aside. Each upkeep, you may place a Hero from here beneath your deck to draw X or to give your disciples access to all Sites this turn. • Identifiers: Best Card in Disciples! • Verse: Luke 5:4 •

On a related note, if my opponent gives me a card Ala High Priest's Offer or Judas' Thievery, or if I take their card Ala Taking Egypt's Wealth, and play Mayhem, do the cards I take get shuffled into my deck? I guess what I really want is an explanation of what happens to cards that are taken or given; are they treated as yours until you use them? Are exchanged heroes considered yours? Answers please 

Polarius is correct.

Additionally, if you discard any cards taken from an opponent they go to your opponent's discard pile.

I think the precedent here is a banded in PAB who will let you search for a Generic Philistine, but he reverts to opponent's deck instead. This rule seems most similar to an "instead" ability, rather than a "protect" ability.

But PAB's ability is an exchange, not a cost/benefit. Since you cannot place your opponent's card under your deck by rule, I would say that you can't pay the cost to get the benefit. In PAB's case, you do the exchange, but then PAB is returned by rule to your opponent's deck.

Hey,

"Place [target] beneath your deck."  Means "Place [target] beneath owner of [target]'s deck."  We say 'your' rather than 'owner' because 99% of the time the owner is you.  So if you exchange and gain control of an opponent's disciple you could put it into fishing boat and then place your opponent's disciple from your Fishing Boat beneath your opponent's deck to satisfy the cost of Fishing Boat.

Tschow,

so i can place my opponents hero in my fortress?

The Name of the Lord (AW)
Type: Fortress • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Set this fortress aside. If you have initiative, you may interrupt the battle and place your Hero on this fortress. Hero is protected from effect. Each time you rescue a Lost Soul, return one Hero to your territory. This fortress is protected from discard. • Identifiers: Play to set-aside area. • Verse: Proverbs 18:10 • Availability: Angel Wars booster packs (Ultra Rare)

I think what Tim is saying is more related to the deck specifically than just any use of your. "Your deck" means "[owner's] deck", etc. "Your hero" still means "[your owned and controlled] hero", I believe.

So you have to OWN the Hero card to put it into your NotL, or just CONTROL it, such as Stalks o' Flax?

So the answer is yes... I just skimmed over it since I'm lazy.
