I would think that PP would be the same ability with "discard a card from your hand to..." since Barabbas was discarded instead of the Son of God...  

...so people may actually think twice about using all of them in every deck.

That will never happen

yeah even if there's a card that discards all dominants in opponent's hand i reckon there will still be most of the dominants in most every deck which is kind of sad.

That's because dominants can be played any time and can't be negated, and often they have game changing effects, (Son of God and New Jerusalem can make a 3 point shift by stopping a rescue while rescuing 2 Lost Souls, Grapes of Wrath can stop an entire banding chain, etc)  Dominants are too powerful right now and having cards that discard them won't really change that, having cards that punish using them or make them dead draws might make players think twice though.

Special Ability - "If holder has not played any dominants this game, discard this artifact to remove all dominants from all players hands, draw piles, and discard piles from the game."

I like it if it's a CBN TC MC EE.

Probably only if someone makes an Urim n Thurim mistake by leaving it up without using it...

So what would that card be called? Relying on Human Wisdom, Regretable Choices...

lol!  So basically if it is a dominant?  And one that can be recurred since it is an EE?  Not that you'd NEED to recur it...  Unless it got Confusion'd

there should seriously be dominant limitations. With Disciples coming I bet that adds another 2, maybe 3 cards that are dominants that will be in every person's deck. Soon half the deck could be dominants
