House at Endor
Evil Fortress

During your prep phase you may place a card from hand here face down. When attacked, you may interrupt all neutral cards and exchange a card held here with a magician in deck (or discard if the card is Pale Green), then add a magician from here to battle.

Identifiers: Holds any number of cards, protect cards here from effect.

Giggity. I'd remove the bit about it being Pale Green since the only playable non-PG magician is Simon and I don't think that justifies half a line of exception. It'd also be cool if you could use its ability upon an opponent playing an Enhancement that Cannot be Negated, although that's more gameplay than story. The protection from effect doesn't belong in an identifier and would make the SA too long, so a change suggested.

Witch of Endor
8/6 Pale Green/Brown Evil Character

Underdeck a multi-colored card. You may remove it from the game instead if it's a character. Cannot be negated if I Samuel hero is in play. Search deck for House at Endor.

Identifiers: Magician, Israelite

Love it! Not too much of a silver bullet, not too harsh against Sam decks since only the speed comes from Sam while the power comes from Moses, and gets extra points for operating under CWD (as Magicians are wont to do). Has a weakness triangle with TGT since it's multi-colored itself, and would work even better if my suggestion were adopted for House at Endor to create decked fodder for it to punish a CBN battle-winner.

I love them.  I'd change WoE to "CBN if a I Samuel human is in play", since I think evil King Saul should be able to make it CBN.

It would need to be "another I Samuel human" because WoE, is a I Samuel human, so as you suggested her ability would be CBN because she is in play. 

Agreed.

If you use House at Endor, (against a lone hero) and don't use the character you grabbed to block, then the character is stuck there until they attack again. In the current version, you need to use the exchange to add the character to battle.
