I pulled a couple Herod's Treachery in ma TXP. Hopefully you can use it as an instant or a place so the value is a bit higher when I trade it. :D

That sounds like a good idea :D

Hey,

Is there at least a temporary ruling on this? -building decks and would like to know-

The PTB are currently heavily leaning towards the ruling that the discard to force withdraw only works after the card is placed on a Herod.

For the record, it still can be used "instantly" by placing it on a Herod and then discarding it immediately.  It just can't be used without a Herod.

Tschow,

Just to clarify, it can be played in battle on any EC, placed on (I believe) any Herod in play, and then immediately discarded to use the withdraw special ability.

But you can't use the SA at all if you have no Herods at all?

Correct.  Negating the withdraw after the capture happens would indirectly negate the capture, and the capture's can't be negated status means it can't be indirectly negated.

Well I'm praying they lean back the other way. :)
