Does discarding a card negate it's effect? what about interrupt and discard?

No, and yes

Kittens is correct.

The question was about negation. Those cards still aren't Negated if they're Discarded, they simply stop working.

Actually, the question did kinda entail both. I wanted to know whether they stopped working, and if under technical terms, if they were negated.

Just Discarding a card never Negates it.

But interrupting and discarding a card DOES "negate" it...?

so if my opponent interrupts the battle and discards a card I played to have immunity, I still have the immunity?

If you interrupt the effect of a card and then remove the card, there is no card left to take effect after the interrupt ends.

You can interrupt an Enhancement and remove it from play, canceling its effect, or you can interrupt the battle, remove the character under it from play, and if there is no character left that can legally use the card, it cannot take effect after the interrupt ends, so that also cancels its effect.

No, he was right, although his thoroughness perhaps came at the cost of clarity. He's saying the same thing as everyone else.

Okay, what about intterupting and discarding a card that negated another card after a card has been played after it? (Talking about playing devourer after i play my second enhancement). Is my negate no longer working?

Yes, as negate is ongoing.

Even though the Negate card is being Interrupted and Discarded?

Alright, to clear things up, this is what went down:

My opponent (LordZardeck) RA's with Angel w/ the Secret Name. I block with Fallen Warrior who has Philly Chariot/Horses equipped. I ITB, draw 2, and play Pride of Simon. I use Pride to play Wrath of Satan from d/c pile, and I all SA's are now resolved. LordZardeck plays Flaming Sword to negate PC/H and then plays Spiritual Beings to become immune to me.

His question: Is me playing Devourer (WA) to interrupt/discard all good enhancements and allow my Wrath to discard all Heroes in play a legal move?

In this situation, Flaming Sword can't target PC/H, since Wrath is the one doing the discarding. The ability to play a card cannot be interrupted, so the play abilities on both PC/H and Pride of Simon are inherently cannot be interrupted. Which means in order to stop Wrath of Satan from discarding all of the Heroes (including Angel) Flaming Sword must target that.

Now, assuming after Flaming Sword is played that the Hero still has initiative by the numbers (which is what I assume was true) he can play Spiritual Beings. Then initiative passes to Fallen Warrior, Devourer interrupts and discards Flaming Sword and Spiritual Beings, again targeting all Heroes for Discard. At this point, the Hero could either interrupt the battle, or play something to negate Devourer (which would allow FS to kick back in).

Is Pride of Simon CBI? Can't Search abilities be Negated?

The search ability could be, except that the ability is Search and Play. Since Play abilities are CBI, I would have to assume that negating the Search wouldn't stop the enhancement from being played.
