"In this site" should be "here instead." Also, you don't need the second sentence. AFAIK, non-placed cards in a territory are always controlled by that player (you automatically gain control of a Seven Wicked Spirits swapped into your territory, for example). The (new) second sentence could be this instead: "When Son of God is played, return contents to your territory." It also needs an identifier something like "Holds any # of OT Heroes".

Horridly OP.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Sure, it's killable, but that's no consolation when you drop it, play Wrath or Great Image (or Hunger with PWD), and then drop SoG. It's part of a combo that can steal an entire defense in one sweep, and the only counter is Grapes or AotL in a side-battle.

It would steal an offense and only OT Heroes

Which is most offenses. And the whole combo is made of interchangeable parts.

Most combos don't steal an entire offense.

And actually, no, many combos have parts that are pretty useless apart from the sum.

For instance, Eleazar's sword.  Nigh useless in the CONGO deck without the COMBO.

I agree w/ Browarod, put those changes in.
Also, I would give a way for the opponent to get their Heroes back.
They seem pretty lame as fighters maybe we should challenge them to a dance off or a redemption game
