I'm not sure how useful this is... I think it would be better by making it be that you reveal a Good Dom in your hand to Discard the card removing you from battle.

Also, it just kinda looks incomplete at the end.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that this card does nothing in most situations.  By interrupting the battle, you are actually putting everything in a state where the SA causing you to be removed from battle is not happening.  Thus, you could not withdraw.

Once you use interrupt, the SA just isn't there anymore, so you'd have to word it more simply like "If used by a Warrior-Class hero, Interrupt the Battle and return hero to your hand or discard..." (not sure what else was to be there, it got cut off I guess).  I think you could have it start a conditional "If your Warrior-Class hero is being removed from battle, you may Interrupt..." but I'm not sure.

Now it is somewhat better, but I don't get why someone would use the 'Return to Hand' instead of just killing an EC.
I would suggest changing it to be more like My Lord and My God for OT WC Heroes.

Multiple ECs in battle?

Too powerful. David already has Bravery of David that basically does this, he doesn't need 2 CBN ITB+win.

With this and Bravery + all the other OP Red cards out there? Most players wouldn't kick their Heroes back to Hand anyway. I do agree it is still OP though. Maybe make it CBP would be a bit better.

Took off the cp clause entirely

Which actually makes it much more useful for the first ability.  You'll grant special initiative if you use it as a discard, but not if you use it as a withdraw.  I like it :)

Still not sure I like the card as it's extremely similar to both David's Triumph and Bravery of David. It may get Uriah more game time as a 3rd CBN ITB+win, but since you can't even use it during normal initiative and nobody uses negatable EE's...
