Title: Tartaros
Post by: Crashfach2002 on May 05, 2009, 11:04:32 PM: Say I have a Tartaros "All demons that holder captures, discards, or has in Land of Bondage are placed in Tartaros. Release one demon to holder's territory from Tartaros when one of holder's demons wins in battle." in play. I block, and my opponent plays a card that says I must discard a card, I know it was his card played, but if I discard a demon from my hand or battle, would my demon then go to my Tartaros?

Because it seems like it isn't your opponent actually doing the discarding; he's just forcing you to do it. That's what I think.

The blocker cannot choose to have Nero discarded from Dove, because he is immune to the Hero. The specific target is chosen by the defender, but the act of discarding is done by the attacker. The same principle applies here. You do not get to put a demon you discard via Dove (or Shoes of Peace, Simeon, etc.) into your own Tartaros.
