Until the Liner is banned, I will be proposing cards like this   

Mighty Warrior
11/11 Red/Clay/Silver hero, WC, TC
Identifiers:  May not be in a deck that contains the New Jerusalem or The Second Coming dominants
"When played, search deck or discard for a good weapon.  When your Warrior Class hero redeems a lost soul, you may draw 2 or rescue it again.  While all your heroes are Warrior Class, they cannot be ignored or negated."
Isaiah 42:13/Revelations 19:15

Me likey!!!

I like it. Very nice. The only downside off the top of my head would be that Throne decks could make good use of it. Not sure if the may draw would trigger for each WC character involved with rescuing either. Might make it when your lone WC hero rescues a lost soul in that case. I like the idea of this though.

Well, I did try and make it powerful enough that it could compensate for not having NJ or TSC in your deck.  I might have actually undershot on this   

One thing that Throne decks would have to consider is whether they want AUTO/Sam/Abigail for drawing/searching, but then lose the last ability of Mighty Warrior.  My guess is, those that want AUTO/Sam/Abigail in their Throne decks will keep those 3 heroes, as well as NJ or TSC, and just leave out Mighty Warrior altogether.

I don't think making cards to combat it is the best way to go about it. I've actually come to the realization that probably the best way to neuter the liner (aside from a full-on ban) is to implement the rescuer's choice rule. It works for T2, why not T1? I don't see any real reason this can't be the case, outside of it would be another rule to learn.

Of course, if someone was to start a petition for banning the liner, I'd be one of the first to sign.

-As far as the Mighty Warrior is concerned, I don't think the ability justifies the cost (no TSC). Getting through HHI is stellar, but the rest is just alright. Excluding a dom from your deck is a hefty price to play FBTNB decks, especially since the existence of Confusion makes TSC pretty much required.

I recently came to this realization as well.  There's a reason that no one plays Liners in T2 decks - because of Rescuer's Choice.  I'm on board.

It would actually streamline things once T1 players are accustomed to the new rule, since both versions would be played the same.

Don't forget that this applies to all Warrior Class heroes.  Soldier of God and his ilk, Judges like Ehud/Jephthah, Throne heroes like King Saul/David/King Amaziah, etc. 

And I am worried that the card is not powerful enough to justify the loss of TSC.  I can always beef it up    Let me see what I can do.

EDIT:  Beefed-up version 2 has been added to the OP.

On that note, you'd still need the "When played," at the beginning to specify when to get the weapon

Why wouldn't you just get a weapon each time MW's ability activates?  I don't think there's an instant TC ability yet, but it seems straightforward to me:  Each time the ability activates (or reactivates), do the instant ability again.  (So each time he enters territory or battle)
