New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
Assyrian Survivor: "Protected from discard abilities on opponent's cards. If defeated, capture to opponents Land of Bondage. Cannot be Interrupted."Hormah: "If Your human Evil Character is discarded, you may place this Site and its contents beneath owner's deck"Would a defeated (and therefore captured) Survivor trigger Hormah? He's not actually being discarded.
So Survivor is treated as an instead then? Because I've always thought that it was just an after-effect: he's defeated (discarded, captured, returned to hand/deck/territory, etc.) and then his trigger fires and he ends up in the opponent's LoB afterwards. If it's NOT an instead (since it doesn't say so on the card) then he WOULD be discarded, technically, so I would think it would trigger Hormah.*is unsure*

This also applies to Potiphar's Wife, etc.
