Not unless you break their chains.

I'm assuming that "captured demon" is not the same as "demon", much like captured hero vs hero.

Can captured demons be banded into battle?

Nope.

You can't band to heros in Raiders Camp because "captured hero" is not the same as "hero".  It has already been answered that "captured demon" is not the same as "demon".  The captured demon is not treated as a lost soul; it is just treated as a "captured demon" and an evil card. 

If you had a card that banded to "captured demons" then I guess you could but I don't think that will happen. 

thanx guys!

do you mean....

the two subsets of ECs are demons and humans. in the same way, the two subsets of captures ECs are captured demons and captures humans (treated as lost souls)

??

because if you do, that makes a lot of sense and if you don't i'm very much confused

Wait, captured demons are not treated as Lost Souls? If they're just treated as Evil cards, can you use cards that discard evil cards to discard their captured demons?

I assume so...

I am sure of what is in my announcement.  My rulings on all the questions below are my best guesses.

If I capture a demon, do I control the card? I can't think of any play off the top of my head where this would matter, but I could see it being used to pay a cost or discard an evil card if needed.

Yes you would control it.  Yes you could use it to pay the cost of discarding an evil card.

Hey,

do you mean....

the two subsets of ECs are demons and humans. in the same way, the two subsets of captures ECs are captured demons and captures humans (treated as lost souls)

Basically, although there are three subsets of Evil Characters, humans, demons, and animals.

Demons are a subset of Evil Characters.  Are "captured demons" a subset of "captured Evil Characters?"

Evil Characters are a card type, so it makes sense that Demons are a subtype of them.

I don't remember hearing of "captured Evil Characters" being a specific category, therefore I don't know that it has subtypes.  Where are you going with this line of thinking?

It's my understanding that "Captured Hero" and "Captured Evil Character" are card types that exist (despite the fact that we have never printed a card that is a captured hero or captured evil character at face value).  These two card types together are referred to as Captured Characters (just like "characters" is used to refer to heroes and evil characters).  These two card types can have the same identifiers as their non-captured counter parts.   

Ashpenaz and Leper Colony are two cards that specifically affect "captured human heroes" which we've all just assumed is the subset of captured hero that are humans.  Which makes me think that "captured demon" is the same as "captured demonic Evil Character" which is a subset of "captured Evil Character."

There aren't any cards currently that refer to them.
That doesn't mean that there couldn't be in the future.

And there is no denying that captured demons are fundamentally different than captured characters, or even captured evil characters, since they have the caveat that they cannot be redeemed.

Hey,

"captured human heroes" could just as easily be "captured heroes" (a group that is actually identified previously) who happen to have a "human" identifier.  Similarly "captured demons" could simply be "captured evil characters" (a group that is actually identified previously) who happen to have a "demon" identifier.

I find your verbiage confusing.  Are you saying that "captured human heroes" and "captured heroes with the identifier 'human'" are two different ways of referring to the same set of cards?  And similarly that "captured demons" and "captured evil characters with the identifier 'demon'" refer to the same set of cards?

ahh yes, i forgot about animals. now that it has been decided that demons cannot be redeemed, it should really be taken under consideration that angels and animals cannot as well.

I'm totally going to set it up so that The Serpent becomes a Redeemed Soul.
