It says if my demon is discarded...I may hold it in Tartaros instead. Is the discard it's referring to a discard ability or also if the demon is discarded after battle when it lost by the number?

Thanks

If they are discarded from hand or deck, I don't think they go to Tartaros, but I could be wrong on that one, I'm not 100% certain.

That's a good question.  I would say no since deck and hand are out of play and Tartaros would default to demons that are in play that are being discarded or captured.

Here's Tartaros' ability: If your demon is discarded or captured, you may hold it here instead. If your demon wins a battle you may underdeck a demon from here.

My question is where do the demons go when both old and new tartaros are in play?

You can't control old and new at the same time.

Relevant portion of abilities:
-New Tartaros' ability: If your demon is discarded or captured, you may hold it here instead.
-Old Tartaros' ability: All demons that holder captures, discards, or has in Land of Bondage are placed in Tartaros.

If each player has one of these in play, I would guess that the one that was in play first would allow the instead first. I.e.: if old Tart was the one played first then the player doing the discard would get to take it to their Tart before the opponent could instead it to their new Tart.

If they are discarded from hand or deck, I don't think they go to Tartaros, but I could be wrong on that one, I'm not 100% certain.

Since Tartaros is an "Instead" ability, it targets abilities, not cards.  Dust and Ashes has been ruled to "save Job" if he is, say, targeted by Vain Philosophy in hand.  I've always played that Tartaros holds demons discarded from hand or deck.

pretty sure chamber and tartaros do not activate for angels or demons discard from out of play.. same as how you can't heal a character being discarded from hand/deck.

the new heal ruling may still include set aside, not sure..  seems like it targets characters in play
