As far as I remember, yes, but I can't remember the exact text of the LS.

hey thanks a lot for replying i was just wondering if you mean yes you can still block with the ec or if you mean yes they are stuck haha thanks again!!

What happens If the ls is negated in later turn?

thanks a lot for answering this question!

Wooah, what? Place abilities don't hold the cards they place in their location anymore? Blocking from your land of bondage is normal?

It was placed there with a further direction on how to get un-placed. Yes, it's in your territory, but it's also in your Land of Bondage. I can't see anything that would let you block with one. You've never been able to just block with a Pale Panic Demon (sounds odd, but it came up as a way to stop your Hero from being banded to without running WoP and risking Goliath auto-win before Shrine existed) or a SWS that was exchanged with a Panic Demon and they weren't even in LoB, and at least a few years ago you would not have been able to just block with a siteguarded EC.

As to the other part of the question, this seems inconsistent with how place and trigger works elsewhere. If Jehoram places an Enhancement on a Hero, then on a subsequent phase he is Negated, the placed Enhancement will still carry out the conditions it was given when the place happened. If the difference is that one is optional, it's the same needless, arbitrary distinction that is plaguing "X and Y" constructs.

I just went through all of the cards with a place ability, and the Site Guard is completely unique in the game for placing another card and providing an optional trigger for what to do with that placed card that remains negatable in phases after it was used to place. The placer Heroes from Priests are the closest we have to precedent, and the only difference is one is optional while one is not.


As to what effect allowing you to block from LoB would have, very little, although it would take away a downside to using Possessed in T2 in addition to taking away the risk of Site Guard (if the silly triggering coupling remains as well). But I go the other way on it; let's formalize/institute it the way everyone has always understood it to work upon first reading.
