New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
It's also important to note that if X=2 and your opponent has 1 EC in battle and 1 evil card in their hand, they get SI before the card in their hand is discarded, so if the card in hand can negate IJ, then they are still able to play it.

How would they use a card that is in the discard pile?

How would they use a card that is in the discard pile?So if you choose the last evil character in battle (voluntarily or not) then it give you special initiative. Special initiative (SI) suspends the ability of the card causing SI. So currently Impartial Judgment is suspending allowing you a chance to negate it. Therefore the card(s) chosen to be in the discard pile haven't gone there yet until you have a chance to respond. This allows you to be able to play an enhancement from hand that might (or have) to be targeted.

Does the order in which cards from hand or battle matter? Like, if the blocking player discards from hand before they choose to discard from battle, would they still be able to use a card targeted for discard to negate Impartial Judgement?Does regular initiative suspend play as well? Wondering if a card such as Deeping Lie or Grievous Departure (that stands to discard a cards from hand but also has high numbers so initiative probably passes as well) would cause the same interaction or if the discarded card would not be able to negate because it is not special initiative?
