ok so  I have I am Patience active and begin a rescue attempt in type 2 and choose the lost soul i'm going after. My opponent plays burial or Son of God on said lost soul then chooses not to block. Can I convert an evil character?(the same situation could happen in type 1 if my opponent only had 1 lost soul) So the real question I'm asking is if a battle starts as a rescue attempt but becomes a battle challenge before any evil character is in battle is it considered a failed rescue attempt?

I Am Patience (AW)

Type: Covenant • Brigade: Green • Ability: 2 / 5 • Class: None • Special Ability: At the end of your turn, if your rescue attempt failed you may convert one human Evil Character (except warrior class) to a green brigade Hero. • Identifiers: None • Verse: II Peter 3:9 • Availability: Angel Wars booster packs (Common)

btw I am Patience + Rhoda is awesome.

Yes. A rescue attempt fails anytime one is begun, and an LS isn't rescued.

So technically then, if I CM'ed your hero after you Angel'd my EC, you can still convert another human into a green hero? Why? I am not understanding why a rescue attempt changed to a battle challenge is considered a failed rescue. I would think failed is the sense of the hero losing the EC, being removed, captured, etc, NOT that the lost soul was rescued...

The main goal of a rescue attempt is to rescue a Lost Soul. This means that the success or failure of a rescue attempt depends on whether the LS was rescued. If it is, then the RA is successful. If not, the RA fails.

Yes that combo used to be somewhat popular but with all the territory protection nowadays few people are willing to use up a turn for it.

but if they don't have a ls in their territory then it is not nesisarily a waist of time

But it's also not a rescue attempt.
