Title: Banding and Duplicates
Post by: Tsavong Lah on November 30, 2008, 05:50:28 PM

Can you band an opponent's unique hero into battle when you have the same hero in your territory? I thought that you could and had to choose one to discard (I band in an opponent's Eliashib and then discard my own), but a friend thinks not.

I think if you have the "option" to band in a duplicate character... you are not allowed to select the duplicate.

You cannot choose to band a duplicate.  For example, if I have Captain of the Host in my Chamber of Angels I cannot choose to band to my opponent's Captain of the Host.

So am I correct in saying that if you have the OPTION to control a duplicate, then you are not allowed to do it? If you are REQUIRED to control a duplicate, like from Dungeon, then you then have to pick which to discard?

Yep, Lambo, that sounds correct to me.  ;)

+1 Lambo and Gabe. That's how I understand it to work as well.
