It's ability is "If a lone Hero begins a rescue attempt against you, you may discard one of your demons in your territory to shuffle this card back into owner's draw pile." If I use the demon that lets me exchange it with another Evil Character and I take another players demon. Can I then discard that demon since I control it to complete the special ability?
-
Yep. That fits the criteria of "your". Unsure, keep reading.
-
Sweet, I thought that was right! Well I'm still hoping that is right!
-
I don't believe that's correct. "Your" implies both control AND ownership, the latter of which you do not have.
-
After reading though the REG, it does seem that Tim is correct. Sorry for misleading you, I thought for sure "your" was satisfied with SWS because the exchange was permanent, not temp like banding or Stalks.
Your
Several cards in Redemption® refer to cards that are “your” cards (e.g., your Priest, your Heroes, your demons, your warrior-class Evil Character, ). The possession and control of a card is implied by the use of the word “your”.
Control
You control a character when you are using it. You can control a character that you do not own. This happens when you band to an opponent’s character and use it in battle. You also control a character when your opponent forces you to use a character that you do not own.
(I assume control can also mean exchange like with SWS.)
However, there isn't a defined definition for "possession". Could we get one? It doesn't mean the exact same thing as ownership.

Hey,
I believe the answer to the original question is yes. Although I have no evidence to back it up.

Yay for another person who has a gut feeling but no proof. :(

Does "exchange" change ownership? I didn't think so, since you always return cards to "owner's" deck.
Does "your demon" mean a demon you control and own? Or control and possess (like after an exchange)?
Can you possess a demon? Ha

Wait... So Bryon doesn't know!?!? The Sky is falling, the sky is falling!
But I don't think so. Gabe says that "your" means both posession and ownership, I asked him about this for another ruling question I had a little bit ago.

That's the way that SWS was ruled after FOOF came out. I no longer recall the specific question and it's since been purged from the forum.
So that's the way it was ruled once, but as we all know rules/rulings in Redemption change from time to time. Until there's something official to contradict the original ruling I'm going to assume it was correct.
