"Place this card in a territory: If more than X heroes are in that territory at any time, he must discard a hero from territory or card from hand."
X = your Redeemed souls


Did I word this right so that it is read that the opponent's redeemed souls is x?

Should be "X = Opponent's Redeemed Souls" cards are always written from the perspective of the person playing it.

I don't understand why this is so punishing earlygame when not alot of things can snowball and it only really counters banding decks.

I'm assuming it was unintentional that you wrote this in such a way that it triggers multiple times and never stops triggering until they discard a hero.

I don't like the "or a card from hand" clause on things anymore, theres too much recursion to limit power.

Pretty harsh that until you rescue a soul you can't have any Heroes in your territory. Also pretty quirky that if you've got a number of Heroes protected that is over X, the card will trigger infinitely without ever being resolved. What's even weirder is that as soon as a player hits >X, he gets to discard every Hero on the table that doesn't belong to him before cutting himself down to size.

Right. Is there a good way to handle that issue?

Make it trigger once per phase and assign it a phase to trigger in.

Such as the upkeep phase.

Makes it easy enough to get the heroes back with chariots I guess. Its more powerful against non-speed decks though, speed decks will have more heroes so they don't mind as much if one dies. For a balanced deck or a defensive deck a new hero might be a few turns away, and this would help other speed decks defend against eachother while being in an already popular speed defensive brigade.
