don't rescue lost soul

Ok here is an idea that I think would be great but I'm pretty sure that many people will say is horrible.


Lost Soul

S.A.  If this lost soul is going to be rescued while it is held in a site then you may discard the site instead.

alternately

Silver Lost Soul Site   Gomorrah

S.A.  If a lost soul in this site is going to be rescued, you may discard this site instead.

Your opponent would get a soul, and you'd discard an empty site. Lost souls never follow sites into the discard pile.

Right.  I think you missed it.  The lost soul is not discarded.  It is the "instead" clause like that of Raider's Camp that would stop it being a successful rescue.

I don't think that would functionally be any different.  You discard the site instead of the opponent making a successful rescue.  I was trying to limit the power of that by saying it had to be a rescue attempt against the lost soul in that site.  I think if you could just use it anytime then it would be a little too strong.

How about this:
Gomorrah
Silver Site
"If opponent is making a rescue attempt and has access to a lost soul in this site, you may discard this site to protect all Lost Souls from rescue by a Hero this turn."

RR's way would be used if a card like that was printed because it is the more politcaly correct (in game terms) way of doing that kinda thing.

I like this better:

"If opponent's hero has access to this site, you may discard this site to protect its lost souls from rescue."

(and yes, that's "its" not "it's".)

I'm assuming that site access only makes sense in battle. Anyway this seems cleaner.

Protecting all lost souls from rescue is a bit too powerful as we already have a lot of that.
