Ok, weird situation today. Archers of Kedar is an evil character with the SA that I may discard a hero in a territory, but if I do, Archers of Kedar is discarded at end of battle regardless of outcome. Now, they became converted during the match and so I made a rescue attempt with them. I assumed conversion doesn't change or remove their SA so I used it. Here's where the interesting part comes in. I had David's Harp in play and activated which says that if a Hero would be discarded at the end of battle I may choose instead to place them on top of their owner's draw pile (i.e. my draw pile). So would I be able to use the DH ability on them since they are now technically a Hero and are to be discarded at the end of battle?

oh neat. Thought it was weird that a "Hero" could kill other Heros. Good to know the other ruling too, makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks.

This actually leads into a different, but related, rule question.

Say you are blocking with Archers of Kedar (or a different evil archer) and you discard a hero. Then during the battle the Archer get converted during the battle (with one of the many convert enhancements available) and when the battle ends the Archer, which is now a hero, is discarded, could you then use David's Harp to return it to the top of your deck?

I'd assume you could, but I think it is at the very least an interesting (although fairly rare) situation.

I'd have to see the actual text of David's Harp to make sure, but I think so.
