Oh, Elishana lives because discard pile isn't hand, so DD doesn't even remotely suggest that he'd be stopped.

Hey,Let me introduce everyone to the two definitions of "play"(1) To put a card into the field of play. [I'll call this play (place)](2) To activate the ability of a card. [I'll call this play (activate)]When the rulebook talks about playing weapons on characters in your territory it is using the play (place) definition.When the rulebook talks about giving initiative in a stalemate situation to the player that did not play the last card in battle it is using the play (activate) definition.The question then becomes, when the word "play" appears in the ability of Darius' Decree which definition is it using?I lean towards saying it uses the play (activate) definition. So enhancements can still go in storehouse, weapons can still go on characters, Agur still works, and yes John, Set asides and Territory class enhancements can still be played (at least they can be put into play, but they would then not activate, do nothing and be immediately discarded).Tschow,Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly
I think if you cannot play an enhancement from your hand unless an EC is in battle...then you simply can't do it. Can you set aside a hero? No, that would be playing a good enhancement without an EC being in battle. Can you place a good enhancement on a hero in your territory? No, that would be playing a good enhancement without an EC being in battle. You are reading way too into this card and making it way more complex than it needs to be. Just ask yourself, "Would playing this card be playing a good enhancement from my hand without an EC being in battle?" If the answer is yes, then you can't do it. Simple as that. So with the AoCP example...the answer would be yes, because you are playing AoCP without an EC being in batter so no you can't do it. Territory class enhancements...ask the question and your answer should be yes, so you can't play those either. That is how I see it.

I much prefer simple, clear, and easy to explain rules.
