1. Cards like Jack Sparrow and Beast have abilities that state "if you discard from your friend area", does this mean you can discard them during your action phase to use the ablity or do they have to be discarded because of an effect? The reason I ask is because Tidus says "you may discard this card".
2. If I have 3 dark on my opp world, lets say they are 25p 10p 12p. My opponent during his action phase plays 3 magic cards that targets a dark card and does 24 total and plays them all on my 25p dark, then he battles...does the damage stay until end of action phase? or can you only play those magic cards when you battle?
