The trigger can "stack", so defeating 3 male humans would result in capturing all 3 of them. And I just realized she doesn't specify "Hero", so if she's banded to a male human EC, it would trigger her as well.

"Defeat" does not equal "failed rescue attempt". If you block with Potiphar's Wife and play Failed Objective, she didn't defeat the Heroes. Defeat is "losing" the battle.

A Hero is defeated when:
•The Hero is removed from battle because of an ability.
•The battle ends with the Hero being discarded by the numbers of the Evil Character(s) in battle (except in the case of a mutual destruction).
•The battle ends in a stalemate.

An Evil Character is defeated when:
•The Evil Character is removed from battle because of an ability (except for mutual destruction by mutual removal).
•The battle ends with the Evil Character being discarded by the numbers of the Hero(es) in battle.
•The battle ends with the Evil Character being ignored by a Hero or Heroes in battle and no non-ignored Evil Characters in battle are defeating the Hero.

That struckthrough part is still in the REG but will be removed because of the change to ignore.

Not really.

The EC doesn't have to survive - Rizpah's Sackcloth (discard all) is "mutual destruction by mutual removal" and defeats the Heroes.

The EC doesn't have to remove the Heroes - a stalemate (by numbers, or maybe protection) would defeat the Heroes.

Within each rescue attempt, there's really a battle (the characters opposing each other) and a war (the fate of the LS). The 2 results often go together, but it's possible for the EC to lose the battle (be discarded) and win the war (protect the LS). The opposite (Hero loses the battle, but rescues the LS) really only happens if you play an Enhancement that rescues, like Eternal Inheritance.

Pot's Wife some how banded to a human male, then lose the battle for an expensive soul gen. hmmmm

Agreed, but there are possibilities as you mentioned...

So it would be considered "defeat" for an evil character (in that case Egyptian Magicians) if he discarded himself with Failed Objective?

Would Pot's wife plus a discard all I play, capture a male hero or banded male EC to opponents LOB?  That fits the requirements correct? Plus if it discards all, it protects the LS from rescue.
