Good Fortress

At the point that there are exactly 8 OT heroes in play, discard all OTHER cards in all territories (except lost souls), regardless of protection.  Shuffle lost souls into decks instead.  Discard Noah's Ark after use.  No rescue attempt or battle challenge may be made this turn.  One per deck.

"and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;"  2 Peter 2:5


(Since we now have a Fishing Boat fortress this seemed a logical follow up.)

Well, the first option to reduce the OP would be to "discard" rather than remove from game I guess.  I think this card would introduce an interesting facet to the game, as you get closer to that magic number of 8   Revised.

OK, I limited it as far as I could and still make it desirable for some decks.  In its current form the heroes are not set aside at all (so opponents can use their heroes on their next turn), AND the owner cannot rescue on the same turn they use this.

I guess I can see your point, but currently we have 5 New Beginnings per deck shuffling everything in play, so I don't see the big difference.  I'm just not sure that we could justify "protection" against the Flood that destroyed the world.  "My guys don't need to be in the ark for protection.  They're in Pharaoh's throne room."  But I do appreciate your honest input.  It's just a shame that our current card about the Flood doesn't have the massive effect that a card like that should

If it shuffled instead of discarding it would be a newtered ANB

You should make it five.
