Say you and your opponent are tied.  you attack w/a green prophet. opponent blocks with some ec that gives you initiative.  If you play sword of the lord and cause two of opponent's ec's to fight, can you play grapes on one of them to shuffle the other into owner's deck, or does that shuffle the hero in battle, too? And, if that works, since you were tied, can you make another rescue?I just wanted to make sure because if that works, then, WOW.

LOL! I never thought about using grapes in a side battle. Nice one.

So yes or no:
1. if you grapes on of the ec's, does the other ec get shuffled (not the hero) and
2.  do you get to make another rescue attempt since you are tied?

1. Yes
2. No. There is no current rescuer in a side battle (since side battles are battle challenges) so no one gets another RA. If, however, you picked the EC defending you to be in the side battle and then played Grapes during said side battle, you'd basically definitely win the Lost Soul once it got back to your RA, unless they play a dominant.

if you are tied, nobody is losing so you wouldn't get to rescue again

While it may be true that nobody is losing, it also means nobody is winning, so if you are the current rescuer you DO get another RA, if Grapes is played in the main battle
