It shouldn't.  I put "except Saul/Paul" in the ability.  Not just because heroless needs to remain viable (and TxP just hurt it bad already), but it is also biblical.  With Paul's "thorn in the flesh" God made sure that Paul would not succumb to pride.

get rid of AoCP and a heroless deck is powerless. or Zeal, for that matter.

I actually like the idea behind this card.  However, I don't think top decks would add a curse to their deck that could only take out 2 cards maximum (assuming the art didn't get DoN'd, and assuming that there opp even had cards that specifically had the words "Cannot be negated" in their deck).

If there were no limit on this curse, so that they do it once every turn, then maybe top decks would include it.  There would still be some games where it would be useless, but in other games, it would be powerful enough to make up for that risk.

However, that would OP in T2 where you could have 3 of these.  Therefore, I would make it multi-colored.

By T2, do you mean that type where you can have 5x AoCP in the same deck?

Search opponent's Territory, Hand and Draw Pile for one card (except Saul/Paul or another copy of this card) that says "May not be" OR "Cannot be", followed by "interrupted" OR "negated", and remove it from the game.

Orange/Gray 6/0 Curse:

Search opponent's Territory, Hand and Draw Pile for one non-Dominant card (except Paul) whose ability is not able to be negated or interrupted, and remove it from the game.  Once none of those remain, discard this card.

Thanks.  The original version was a "discard this card to...", and people said it was not powerful enough.  Then I added twice per game, and people said the same thing.  I personally think it should be a twice per game ability, and I will likely change it back to that.
