Isaiah attacks and is blocked by a Herod. Visions starts a side battle between that Herod and another EC. The Herod has initiative and plays Escape to Egypt, causing Isaiah to withdraw. Does this work? Does Isaiah get initiative to negate it at any point? Side battles are my worst subject.

Escape to Egypt- "Opponent must withdraw 2 Heroes from battle and place a good Dominant from hand beneath deck. Cannot be prevented if used by a Herod."

I think "from battle" means the current battle only, in which case Escape to Egypt would have no effect.

I agree with Mr. Uckey. However, if Escape to Egypt referenced instead the "Field of Battle," then Isaiah could be targeted.

"Mr. Uckey"? 

"Mr. Uckey"? 

Isn't your first name Maged?

Anyhow, for REG support. Glossary, under "Battle":
"The phrase ‘in battle’ or ‘current battle’ refers to any cards in the current battle that can be either the primary battle (rescue attempt or battle challenge) or it can refer to a side battle, NOT BOTH. See also Battle Phase. The phrase ‘Field of Battle’ refers to any cards in the Field of Battle including primary battle and side battles."

Side battles are definitely a sticky wicket. Luckily, this particular issue is well defined.

It's more like Mage-Duck-ey.  Stupid name?  Yes.  First online gaming that's just stuck with me through the years?  Yes.

I can relate, I was like ten when I first used scoobug.

Nice, by the way I like your avatar. Are you really that good at snake?
