Tartaros?!?! HELP

If my opponent plays a discard an evil character and he goes to the discard pile but then tartaros instead's the discard. If later in the battle I negate the discard ability does it bring the evil character back into the battle from tartaros?

Tartaros
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.

Yes. Instead modifies the discard ability to put the demon in Tartaros but it's still that individual ability that did the removal.

If he was never discarded, but rather instead of being discarded he was put into Tartarus. How can negating the discard effect the instead? Wouldn’t you have to negate Tartarus and put your evil character back into the discard pile than negate the discard enhancement in battle to bring him back from the discard pile. See the enhancement never got to work in my opinion. It’s as if it was already negated by Tartarus not allowing it to do its full ability. So when you negate the discard enhancement later down the battle it’s a mute card because it never truly got to discard the evil characters in the first place.

The instead ability takes the place of the discard ability right?

You are misunderstanding how instead works. It doesn't pseudo negate the ability it is insteading and execute its own effect, it rewrites the original ability that it is insteading.

Tartaros' ability changes the discarding ability to put the EC in Tartaros instead of discard but it still the ability of the card that would have done the discard that moves the EC from battle to Tartaros. The ability that used to say "Discard an EC" now says something to the effect of "Hold an EC in your Tartaros". If you target the card that used to say "Discard an EC" you are targeting that card's ability. That card's ability is the modified ability that held your EC in Tartaros and negating it will put it back in battle.

The REG says that if the new effect is negated (new effect being instead of being discarded it goes to tartaros) the act of insteading does not get undone. As the new effect was initially done through instead. So if my discard is later negated the instead is not undone leaving his evil character in Tartaros right?

The new effect is the discard ability now modified to move the EC to Tartaros instead of the discard pile. The point of that line in the REG is that if you negate what used to be the discard ability, it doesn't revert to it's original wording; it stays modified. To undo the act of insteading you would need to negate Tartaros.

[...] To undo the act of insteading you would need to negate Tartaros.
I agree with Kevinthedude on the main point of this thread, but if my interpretation is correct, would negating Tartaros afterwards actually undo instead?

Quote from: REG
If the new effect activates and is later negated, the act of insteading does not get undone, as the new effect was still applied initially through instead.
Based on this it seems like instead abilities have an implied CBI.

That's if the new effect is negated (read: original ability that was modified), not if the card doing the insteading is negated. I can't find anything that says instead is CBI and I also thought all modifiers were possibly CBI but I couldn't find anything to indicate that either.

This is not actually implying that Instead is CBI.  I'll use an example to explain.

I have The god of This World in play.  You attack with AUTO, TgoTW makes AUTO a D1 instead of a D2.  You exchange for a Judge, I block with some other EC, you get initiative and play a hypothetical GE that says "Negate evil draw abilities".  This negates TgoTW's D1, but it doesn't let you D2 with AUTO, since TgoTW still "Insteaded" the D2.

So by this logic, this means if my demon is discarded from battle, I can put it in Tartaros, play Shipwreck to negate Tartaros, and my demon goes back to battle?

I don't think so...

There's two parts to an instead: first is the actual instead itself, second is the ability you are doing "instead."

If you negate the instead ability, the original ability carries out. (i.e. you discard my Solomon, I use Solomon's Temple, you play Shipwreck on Solomon's Temple, Solomon is back to being discarded).

However, if you just negate the ability that is done instead (in the above example discarding a Teal card from hand), the original ability does not carry out. (i.e. instead of Shipwereck you play a card that says "Negate abilities that allow a player to discard a card from hand").

That's what I believe the REG entry is saying--if I'm wrong, then I'm just as confused as everyone else.

EDIT--That is what jmhartz was trying to explain with his TgotW example--if you only negate the ability that is done instead (not the instead itself) it doesn't undo the fact that the original ability was insteaded. If you negate the instead itself (playing Three Woes on TgotW) then AutO gets to draw the 2nd card.

EDIT #2--also updated the subject line...for old times sake  ;D

Have you checked the REG?
Have you looked it up in ORCID?
