I think Battlefields should be part of deck size. Otherwise, love the idea.

I still don't quite understand how we're going to differentiate what determines a card as a battlefield rather than a site or fortress, but titles are unimportant, so here are some random ones.

Broken link.

I agree with JM, I missed the ridiculousness of that card first time around.

The point of battlefields is not to be balanced. It's to give a very distinct and powerful advantage to your specific playstyle/decktype. The reason they're balanced is that both players get to have one. The only caveat I would have to that is that speed players don't get a battlefield per se. They can use any of them, but I would never ever want to see a battlefield printed that in any way helps speed.

It's not that I hate speed. It's that I want to see speed reigned in to be one of many possible decks that are are more or less equally powerful.

Fixed my link. I'd like to make Jerusalem so you it doesn't count the first upkeep, but am unsure of how without making it too wordy.

"Skip your first Upkeep phase. Search deck for X Heroes and set them aside for X turns."
-X=Any number you choose

The other two work more as Fortresses or Curses than Battlefields.

"Protect your hand and deck from opponent's cards for the first 5 rounds of the game."

This card should never ever be a Battleground. A Sam deck/hand, or even a Disciples deck/hand, that is CBN protected from Naz/Mayhem/RBD/etc. for 5 turns gives it all it needs to search/draw like crazy. The protection should last for 2, maybe 3 rounds at most.

The goal in mind was to protect from Mayhem, Confusion, etc. I hadn't considered Nazareth, and I'd resubmit the SA as, "Protect your hand and deck from opponent's cards except from other protect abilities for the first 5 rounds of the game."

Yeah, that would work. Or, "Protect cards in your hand and deck from instant abilities used by your opponent..."
