Hey,

Where does a character go when it returns from set-aside?  Two Possessed by demons is played in battle to set aside the attacking hero.  Son of God is played in response to immediately bring the character back from the set-aside area.  Does that bring the character back into battle?

Consider Ambush the City: "If making a rescue attempt, set all cards in battle aside (regardless of immunity).  Holder may begin a new rescue attempt against same player.  Once new rescue attempt is completed, the original battle resumes as a battle challenge.  Cannot be negated."

I propose, "Characters return to where they were set aside from if they return during the same phase they were set aside.  Otherwise, character's return to the territory of the player that controls them."

"Otherwise, character's return to the territory of the player that controls them." should probably be "Otherwise, characters return to the territory of the player that controlled them before they were set aside."

He's not suggesting that characters should return in the same phase they're set aside - he's asking what happens IF they return during the same phase (not a turn later - later in the same phase).

Based on what I've seen discussed regarding the new hand-count rule wherein an opponent tries to return a hero in battle to a "full" hand leading it to be returned to territory instead, I propose that unless a card specifies otherwise, characters that return from "somewhere" default to returning to territory.
