i make a rescue attempt against my opponent with a hero. my opponent blocks with the rabsaris, and plays the rabsaris attacks to discard my hero in battle. am i then allowed to play grapes of wrath to discard the rabsaris, and potentially make another rescue attempt? additionally, would this also work if my opponent played any other card that discarded/removed my hero, such as christian martyr or unholy writ?

you would still get discarded though...

So since Warrior's Spear "works" on Spy when he withdraws, could I play Grapes after I withdraw Spy?

There would have to be an evil card in battle for Grapes to work. If you withdraw Spy, the blocker never enters battle.

wait, I don't think it works that way (or at least, it shouldn't work that way). I believe you're attacked, you're allowed to play a dominant, but when you're attacking, you don't get that opportunity.

The way I understand it is: When attacking you have to ask to play first card, if you are losing, then you can play a dominant or whatever.   

You can play a dominant at ANY time, as long as the conditions on the card are met.

Uhh...Yeah, I knew that.  I was just testing you!

That and the fact that you chose to retire from the game at an opportune moment. 

"Opportune" is an understatement!  I don't really call it retirement, though.  It's more of a new beginning.   

More of a second "errata" I think...
