Yes, because King David is the only one doing the ignoring.

CA is correct. King David's ability is no longer active in the discard pile.

I get it

HHI isn't in battle, but it stops characters from entering battle.

I disagree with Chronic. If the ability was not negated, its still functioning. Only King David gains the benefits of Ignore specific to ignoring characters, but the protection of the battlefield is still active even if David is Discarded.

In regards to HHI and making it into a similar situation as the OP...  If HHI is discarded but not negated midbattle, does it continue to ignore?  If so, then King David should too.

But isn't KD the only character doing the ignoring? I think if he's out of battle, he's no longer able to Ignore, even though his ability isn't technically negated. I do see your point, jmhartz, about HHI. Pol, how confident are you in your opinion?

I've had this question come up before in a casual game, and this is what I thought.  I guess I can see the other side, but I still think only King David is ignoring.

Just want to throw out there that this is the fourth legitimate debate about what Ignore does in the past month.  At this point, I hope that the Elders are working on either a complete revamp of Ignore or a more concise description of what it does.

On this issue, I am on the side that evil royalty are no longer ignored once King David leaves battle because of the wording on his card.  However, I agree that the wording of Ignore itself may not actually support this idea.

Hey,

This came up in the past.  It was about Reuben's Torn Clothes with a genesis hero in territory and attacking with a non-TGT hero with TGT and a TGT hero in territory.  The official ruling was the characters cannot ignore from territory/outside of battle, but artifacts/non-characters can.  So if King David is discarded Royalty can enter battle and block normally.

I wasn't aware there was a bottom-up ruling for Ignore abilities. What I said would have been true otherwise.
