I wouldn't take time to find it in the REG's (It might not be in the REG's. If its not they should put it in) and I couldn't take time to let the play testers board rule on it.

I definitely agree that at first glance it appears there is an easy, no brainer answer.  But, several players have checked in the REG/Rulebook, and nothing supports the way that everyone has always thought about set-asides. 

Therefore, I believe it boils down to three options.

1. This scenario works, due to the precedence set with Trembling Demon where each sentence on a card is a different ability.

2. Every set-aside card needs a play as/errata to make the abilities one sentence each.

3. A specific rule stating that cards set-aside must fulfill the designated time established in order to receive the benefit needs to be created and added to the REG.

The playtesters seem to be in agreement:

when a card says "on return" it means "when returned at the completion of the specified number of turns, ..."

In other words, the "on return" clause refers to the return that happens as the specified set aside period ends.  It does not mean "Any time this character is returned by any ability,"

Thanks Bryon.  Can this be added to the REG to avoid future confusion?

Perhaps you could add "REG addition needed" to the subject line. That way Mike and Tim will see it and know to check it out for adding it to the REG.

Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?

Hey,

Thanks Bryon.  Can this be added to the REG to avoid future confusion?

The issue here is a little too involved for it to be patched into the current REG.  But this topic will be addressed in the next REG (it's actually something Mike and I were discussing a couple weeks ago).

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly
