Q is this: Opponent uses a random hero, and I use Nebby, search for GiC and play it, can they interrupt it? I heard this was a no since it discards itself to capture...

Go Into Captivity (Pi)

Type: Curse • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: 0 / 6 • Class: None • Special Ability: If your warrior class Evil Character is in battle, you may discard this card to capture a Hero. • Play As: When holder chooses, if your warrior class Evil Character is in battle then you may discard this card to capture any Hero. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Deuteronomy 28:41

Changes to Interrupt the Battle
This definition is being expanded to include all card types your opponent has in battle that are causing the removal of your Hero. Ex: Magic Charms discarded from a Magician in battle can be interrupted by an Interrupt the Battle card.

based off the ruling that you could interrupt Magic Charms that discarded itself from battle with an interrupt the battle card, I would think you'd be able to interrupt those other cards as well.

Special initiative, which is what is granted when you are losing by removal, is played based on the last state of the battle. ITB interrupts any ability that was in battle and is causing your removal, including cards like Go Into Captivity and Herod Phillip II.

Here's an example from the REG glossary.

Interrupt the battle interrupts the following:

Your opponent’s special abilities that are (1) causing you to be losing by removal (e.g., your opponent’s Net (BL)), or (2) causing a mutual destruction by mutual removal (e.g., your opponent’s King Zimri (Ki) but not your own King Zimri (Ki)).

The King Zimri example above shows that this has been a long standing precedent. What raises this question now?

Even if a card is back in your deck by the time it's resolved? How would that work? Look through your deck and get it out then shuffle then see if it gets totally negated then if not put it back into your deck?

it should never have been put back in your deck. You should only start doing things like that when the ability is resolved completely, if it can be interrupted the opportunity has to be given to do that before you start shuffling

I've never heard that. When Hur attacks with Gifts up, you can D7 whether your opponent is wanting to DoN or not, and any doms in that D7 can be played and if your opponent then DoN's he's more than able.

And if you play Mayhem off your D7 with Hur and then they DoN Gifts?

Thanks for the link. Jordan is mistaken. If he's not then we have to apply that logic to all situations where cards causing removal are not in battle, so King Zimri and several other cards are CBI too. Any of us that have been around a while know that simply is not true.
