Say I (or my opponent) has The Deceiver in play. I block with a different character and play Imitating Evil, choosing it to become The Deceiver.

1a. Would the exchange happen before the band?

2. Would the band happen, and then the double exchange?

1b. If the exchange happens first, would the exchanged EC band to the real Deceiver in territory?

The Deceiver: "You may exchange this card with a human Evil Character in deck or Reserve. Cannot be prevented."

Imitating Evil: "This card becomes a generic copy of a demon in play. This character may band to the copied character. Cannot be negated."

exchange then band to ec who plays imitating

Don't really understand what you're saying. My example:

I block with an orange character. I play Imitating Evil, choosing it to become a generic copy of The Deceiver, who is in my territory. It copies The Deceiver. I would then say the exchange happens. Does the band still happen, allowing the real Deceiver (lol) to be banded in, and then have him exchange out as well?

I guess what I'm really asking is what "This character" refers to on Imitating Evil. Does it refer to the character Imitating Evil was played on, or Imitating Evil itself (as was my original thought)?

to see if I can get some conclusive answer. I like the scenario that Sign described, but I don't want to go into a game thinking I can play it that way if I can't...

I think some of our questions will be answered in tomorrow's Land of Redemption article.

Deceive me once, shame on you. Deceive me twice...
