How do the new "return to hand" Rogue Events (which return to hand at the end of the turn if you succeeded by enough on the skill test) interact with other effects which redirect the card?
An example:
Quote
Backstab (3)Cost: 3
Fight . This attack uses [Agility] instead of [Fight]. This attack deals +2 damage. If you succeed by 2 or more, return Backstab to your hand at the end of your turn.
Normally the event would go to the discard pile, so normally it would return to your hand from there at the end of the turn. Notably, the card just says "return it to your hand." It does
not
specify from where.
So, if the card is somewhere else (but still in some trackable in play or out of play area), can it be returned to hand?
The particular examples I have in mind are easy to track; they could work easily enough; it's just a question of whether they technically do:
1. Crystallizer of Dreams
- After you play the event, you attach it to the Crystallizer of Dreams. Then:
a. At the end of the turn, it's still attached. Can it return to your hand?
b. Later in your turn, you commit it to another test. It's now in your discard pile (as it would have been normally). Can it return to your hand at end of turn? It was not only redirected, but later moved.
2. The Painted World
- Play The Painted World as a copy of one of the new events. During its resolution, it gets removed from the game instead of discarded. At the end of your turn, you're supposed to return it to your hand.

Removed from GameA card that has been removed from the game is placed away from the game area and has no further interaction with the game in any manner for the duration of its removal.
If there is no specified duration, a card that has been removed from the game is considered removed until the end of the game.
The card instructed you to remove itself from the game. But it did also (as a copy) instruct you to return itself to your hand at the end of your turn. Which does seem to specify the duration of its removal.
Thoughts?
