LoR and AutO counter card

The article in LoR got me thinking. I don't like banning cards, I am good with counters however. I then came up with this idea (no artwork or verse yet if you have ideas feel free to post).

Card name: Blockade or . . . Siege.
Brigade: Evil Enhancement pale green brown black and crimson. No numbers.
SA:
Place in an opponents territory, restrict that player from using draw or exchange abilities on characters. Cannot be discarded or negated by a player with a character in his territory that has a draw or exchange ability.

Ok that is it. What do you think, it's pretty versatile and I put in brigades that have lots of warrior class characters.
My one concern is that it may be too powerful, maybe get rid of the cannot be discarded negated part?
I'd love to get feedback on this.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your strength.

I like the idea, although it might be a little too powerful as you said. Perhaps there could be an artifact or site to accomplish this, as well… Just one that protects against exchange abilities. There are some new counters to drawing such as Nicanor, The god of this world, and The Priest of Zeus, but I can't think of much that shuts down exchanging.

The same issue applies to this card as does every other counter card. You have to draw it before Auto has done the damage.

That's true, but I think that's a good thing – we don't want auto to never be played, but to have enough counters that it won't be abused

Play 6 counters to auto isn't valuable enough to warrant losing 6 slots in your deck to counter One card. Instead the best answer is to play auto yourself to keep up. counters are not used.

Two counters, Rain becomes Dust and this card (if it ever is made) besides if it is made as a site there are quite a few cards that search out sites to make it more effective, and able to be used as a defensive tool as a site as well.
Counters are used, Foreign Wives is a counter card to AutO and it is used. However it was also made more versatile beyond just an anti-AutO card. I think if we make a versatile card that helps defend against AutO it will be used by some people, you do make some good points though.

I like the idea, although it might be a little too powerful as you said. Perhaps there could be an artifact or site to accomplish this, as well… Just one that protects against exchange abilities. There are some new counters to drawing such as Nicanor, The god of this world, and The Priest of Zeus, but I can't think of much that shuts down exchanging.
How about cutting out the draw part (or make it more like the God of this World) and keeping the part about exchange? Most play AutO for draw 2 and exchange, if you cut out exhange, the likelihood of him being able to be used in a rescue is greatly diminished. I also like it as a site, perhaps Jericho besieged?
Thanks for any/all input everyone. :)
