running regular iron hands deck with Hands in active spot and it had a heavy baton and four electric energy on it. No stadiums or anything I could find that would stop it from working. Opp knocked hands out and all cards went to discard. Anyone else seen this?

    Haven't experienced this issue, I don't really play that deck. Remember to always post the game log just so we can triple-check if there was anything in play that might've stopped it.

    Save and post game logs.

    A requirement is that it has to be knocked out by damage. If it's by an effect (basically, either damage counters or an instant KO), it'll fail. Additionally, anything that changes your retreat cost will stop it from working.
