Title: Band Unique to discard
Post by: LordZardeck on February 07, 2012, 12:43:20 AM: Can I band to my opponent's unique character when I have the same character in battle in order to discard his?

lol, though I've known this was true, I've never stopped and thought about actively choosing to do it... especially with U&T (oh look, a Uzzah!) Grail + Uzzah in Type II would be fun ;)

Which is exactly why he tried, instead of succeeded. ;)
