We had a few side battle issues at our tournament today, so looking to see how they should have been ruled.
I block a rescue attempt and play Joseph's Brother's Scheme to make the rescuing Hero fight Abraham + Isaac and topdeck Joseph's Brother's Scheme (Angel at Shur was in territory). My opponent plays Abe's Servant. This negates Isaac, at least, but does it also cascade negate Scheme, or is it not in play to be interrupted, so not prevented?
"In battle" just refers to the current battle, correct? So Grapes can't really be played in a side battle?
Joseph's Brothers' Scheme - Select two human Heroes in play to fight each other. The loser is placed in holder's Land of Bondage and is treated as a Lost Soul.
Abraham - Negate opponent’s neutral cards. Search deck for a Genesis 12-24 Hero. May band to a Genesis 12-24 Hero. Cannot be negated.
Isaac - If an angel is in play, you may topdeck an evil card or protect Isaac from capture and discard abilities. May band to Rebekah.
Abraham's Servant to Ur - All special abilities except banding on characters and enhancements, except this one, are negated. Battle is determined by the numbers.
Grapes of Wrath - Discard an evil card in battle to shuffle all remaining characters in battle into owners’ decks. If the current rescuer doesn't have the most Redeemed Souls, he may begin a new battle.
