Hi, I am a bit confused about the timing of the discard.
If my opponent plays a sulphurous swamp and I send one of his dudes home and he interrupts with ring of earth, does the discard happen before the negation? Or will the discard be ignored because of the now non existing movement?
Thanks in advance

Sulphurous Swamp's trait triggers "after" the movement: if the movement is negated, there is no "after".
