Adventure Path power and summoned cards

[Ironvein]

Question came up when starting deck 5, if a card is summoned (usually a monster) and it has a Basic/Elite trait, does it get removed from play instead?

We ruled that since it was during play that, yes, cards summoned and would be banished due to the Adventure Path power.... was that correct?

Summoned cards are banished back to the box AFTER you encounter them, regardless of whether they are defeated, undefeated, or evaded. So, yes, after the encounter you treat them as any other banished card, which would mean removal from the game for cards with the basic or elite traits once you start deck 5.

Thought so, was just another one of those nagging questions. Thanks.
