I attack with a converted Egyptian Magicians (to Green). The bottom card of my deck is Forest Fire (tin). Can I add it to battle?
I attack with a converted Astrologers. The bottom card of my deck is evil. Does my opponent have to discard a card from territory? And can it be a hero? Wasn't sure if the last part would convert, since it can technically target a hero.

Yes to both. FF is evil, and it is a brigade that EM can play. Since Astrologers doesn't directly target a Hero, its more like Huge Egyptian (which may or may not target a Hero).

Follow-up question to the EM scenario. If I build a T2 troll deck that sets Ezekiel aside with Gathering of Angels, and I attack with him, underdeck Forest Fire, then band to converted EM, can EM still add Forest Fire to battle? "Add to battle" is not the same as a "Play" ability if it can add card types other than enhancements, right?

I guess I don't follow why that would be any different than the previous scenario. Could you explain your thinking a bit more?

I think he means, does "add to battle" count as a "play ability" for Ezekiel's negate?

Ah, right. I don't believe so, but I know we've had some unresolved discussions in the past about add to battle vs. play/band/etc. I'd have to await further comment from other Elders to be sure.
Fortunately, I seriously doubt this specific situation will ever matter, but I could see where other situations may cause similar issues.

A more probable situation: Ezekiel vs Evil Spawn (Pi)
Speaking of "Add to Battle," why was that taken out of the REG?

I don't recall for sure if it ever was in the REG as its own ability, but I seem to remember that it wasn't. I know it has been a topic of discussion for awhile, the differences between AtB and Play/Band, but I will have to try to find out if there was ever any conclusions.
