If a commander retreats from battle in Vengance of the Dead does that commander die? or do they survive by retreating?
Ive seen in some other types of assassination attempts that if the commander retreats it appears that they die regardless of making it off the battlefield alive. But I'm not sure if VOD works that way as well or not.
Anyone know that would care to enlighten me? If it's the case that the commander dies regardless of retreating then it appears I get a chance to summon a now dead King of elemental earth

But I'd hate to waste 50 Earth gems if he's still alive hiding out somewhere.
