Ok, I'm confused (just when I thought I had all the rules nailed down).
It seems you guys are referring to two different levels of "banished". Or maybe two different levels of "back in the box".
When we banish a card, we put it back in the box with all the other unused cards that did not make it to a character deck, blessing deck or location deck.
When we complete the game, any cards in our character decks that are unwanted go back in the box to their source decks.
Unused cards in locations decks go back to the box to their source decks.
The blessing deck goes back to the box to its source deck.
Basically between scenarios, ALL cards are back in their source decks in the box other than our player decks. They are ALL eligible to be used again in the next scenario.
Is that not correct? Is there a different level of "in the box" that separates banished and un-banished cards?
Thanks in advance
