PW= Potiphar's Wife SA:  When Character defeats a male Hero in the field of Battle , The Hero is take prisoner and placed in your opponent's LOB and treated as a Lost Soul.

Failed Objective SA: Discard all Evil Characters in battle. All Lost Souls are protected from being rescued by Heroes this turn.

Egyptian Wise men: May Band to any Egyptian EC


1. If Potiphar's Wife defeats 2 male heroes in battle , does the player that successfully blocked get to choose which one is captured or is both captured?

2. If a player , played Failed Objective on Potiphar's Wife , can her SA still activate?

3. If Egyptian Wise men banded to PW and a battle winner enhancement (defeating the last hero in battle and successfully blocking) was played on Egyptian Wise men , does her SA activate?

4. If PW was in a side battle and plays an enhancement that targets a hero in the original battle is the Hero captured?

5. If PW was in battle with 2 Heroes and plays a discard a hero in battle enhancement and targets one hero in battle , does that certain hero get discarded or captured?

For 3, I believe it would trigger. I could be wrong, but I believe an evil character defeats a hero when it is in battle and the battle ends with evil winning by stalemate, numbers, ignore or removal, and is irrespective of the character the enhancement was played on.

For number 2 her ability would activate. In this post defeated is defined.

Potiphar's Wife may be defeating the Hero with Failed Objective, but her ability can't trigger if she's not in play. If you discard my Herod's Temple during battle and then discard my NT human, I can't use Herod's Temple to instead the discard because it's not in play, even if it was before.

Also, please edit your posts if you have additional things to add, don't post a separate time.

Her ability is a triggered instant ability, I don't think anything about it is ongoing.

Posting from the Discarding cards with triggered abilities in the battle phase since I was asked to keep it here . . .

Note that both definitions there of triggered abilities indicate that they are ongoing abilities.  I'm not sure if you are still saying that triggers are not ongoing.  They have to be, otherwise you couldn't use them.

In this case I would argue that I was right, since the ability was ongoing and not negated, and even though she is no longer in play her ability activates.
Not that anybody is keeping track . . .
