I would like some clarity on how a Negate All enhancement is handled when it is added in the middle of a battle. Here's an example:

1. I play Dream ("You may interrupt the battle, draw 3 and play an enhancement.")
2. I draw 3 cards. One of the cards I draw is Midianite Attack.
3. I play Midianite Attack ("All special abilities except banding on characters and enhancements except this one are negated.") I understand this to be a Negate All enhancement.

My understanding is that it should be played as follows:

Midianite Attack negates Dream. So the three cards I drew must be returned back to my draw pile. Midianite Attack then leaves the battle and goes back to the draw pile. But, the battle is now by the numbers. (The effect if Midianite Attack lingers, even though it is now back on my draw pile.

Do I understand this correctly?

ok I draw 2 cards off of 2Khorses and play Sitc(that i drew). Opponent plays Baptism of Jesus. What happens to Sitc?

Two Thousand Horses (Ki)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Pale Green • Ability: 2 / 2 • Class: Weapon • Special Ability: Holder may interrupt the battle, draw 2 cards from the top of own draw pile, and play the next enhancement. • Play As: You may interrupt the battle, draw 2 and play an enhancement. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: II Kings 18:23 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Common)

Baptism of Jesus (Di)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Green • Ability: 1 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Negate special abilities on Evil Characters and weapons. If used by a N.T. prophet, discard an evil card. Cannot be prevented. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Matthew 3:16 • Availability: Disciples

my opponent said that since i drew sitc with the 2khorsies and they were negated that it was indirectly negated and go back on top of deck- is this not correct?

It used to be the case (and may still be, but I don't know) that negating a drawing ability returned all cards drawn with it, unless they were CBN and had already been played.

Is the rule "you can't unplay enhancements" or "you can't interrupt initiative"?  The former effectively makes all cards stick in battle, while the latter would return all drawn cards if the draw was negated.

in this case sitc was played

All "play an enhancement" abilities are CBI.  So SitC stays, even if 2kh drawing is negated. 

Now if you could negate SitC's ability with a card during that battle (Eli's Sound Advice, etc), the "place" ability would be negated and it would return to battle negated.

What would happen if SitC was played, and then the battle became FBTN?
