Something like this came up a while ago, but since I don't feel like looking up specific card abilities, I'll keep the scenario general:

My opponent rescues with several heroes banded together.
I defend with an evil character with low numbers (so it's my initiative).
I play a card that targets something outside of battle (art, fort, etc.)

Does my opponent get a chance to negate the card I just played before I cease playing cards and lose the battle?

According to the REG negate by definition is:

Negate stops and prevents a targeted special ability or card. The negate ability is played in the Field of Battle. It can undo another card already played unless the card explicitly states it cannot be negated. Negate is the same as ‘interrupt and prevent’ combined. A negate ability interrupts a special ability, and then prevents that special ability for the rest of the battle. (See Cannot be negated).


Since part of negate in interrupt, why do I have to wait for initiative to negate something?

I'm pretty sure the only time you are able to play an interrupt/negate on a card is if 1) the card you are interrupting/negating is removing the remainder of your characters from battle, or 2) you have initiative after the card is played.

And all of this is assuming your opponent played the card; you cannot interrupt your own removal.

So you can't play a "Discard all cards in battle" card and then interrupt that w/a withdraw card to save yourself?
