Schaef, thank you for taking the time to explain this so clearly. I think it will benefit a lot of players to have this knowledge. Also, I have a place to point my opponent's now when they question this.

Yeah, I unfortunately was a victim of not knowing this rule ahead of time at Iowa States last weekend. It happened against Tim Maly, no less. It was a close game up to that point, and I was forced to give him a LS rather than shuffling them with SoG/NJ. I have no idea why I'd never heard this before, but at least now I understand it. Thanks Schaef.

It mostly came about when we were tinkering with Battle Resolution a few years back. It's like, how do we get these things to work the way they're supposed to, and have a set point where the battle is over and no more cards can be played? One of the hardest concepts to get across was the idea that your character could be (instantly) discarded or captured or whatever, and the battle not be "over" over, still allowing for Arts and Doms to take effect.

The upside is that "end the battle" cards in this context are a tool one can use to blunt the power of Dominant cards.
