I'd kinda that might be a tad OP. Mass protection via a Dominant means that it can't be negated or got around easily and honestly might get used more then the Discard an EC.

Also being an O.T. Card just means that Genesis can search it. Which I don't like either...

Protection doesn't always win battles though, and ultimately that's what you have to do. Giving it the option to discard or protect however would make this a must have and the old version would be obsolete. Maybe it should be "Withdraw an Evil Character from battle or protect your Heroes from opponent's evil and neutral cards this turn."

That would make it a strategic choice of which version to use (much like the two Falling Aways).

Also, there's already an O.T. AotL so I don't see a problem with that. Other themes have ways to search out N.T. cards.

It makes sense to make it one or the other. Giving the player choice. I like your idea for the ability too

Could also say "opponents' " so that it protects your Heroes in a MP game from other players you aren't attacking...that would certainly be a great option in a MP setting.

lol, I would think that they would probably use another verse or make Doms an exemption for good cards involving music.
