Hmm forgive me for being blunt but that is really op :p I mean it would probably be used in every deck with an OT offense. Maybe keep it more thematic and limit it to only Joshua heroes and enhancements.

If a Joshua hero is in battle you may draw 2, search deck or reserve for a good Joshua card or negate a neutral card. Cannot be interrupted.

I love the idea of thematic multicolor sites :)

Maybe a Genesis or joshua Hero. seems more thematic that way.

Maybe,

If a Genesis - Joshua hero is in battle draw 2, exchange an evil card in hand with a Genesis - Joshua enhancement in deck or reserve, or negate a neutral card. Cannot be interrupted.

The draw by itself is already pretty good and then the addedsituational exchanging an evil card for the enhancement is a little added bonus :p

The ability is a choice between of one of those three things. Making it Genesis/Joshua makes sense. I don't want to give throne more draw. The reason I made this card is that I feel dragon raid is a little obsolete right now and I'd like to see a new winners card.

RoJ Ends of the Earth basically draws you 1 card with the potential cost of generating yourself a soul and it is still an auto include. We absolutely do not need a multicolor site that has any sort of free speed on it.

RoJ Ends of the Earth basically draws you 1 card on the condition that you generate yourself a soul and it is still basically an auto include. We absolutely do not need a multicolor site that has any sort of free speed on it.

Actually Ends doesn't have to self-generate a LS in order to get the GE.

I think genesis/Joshua heros could use some free speed.

True, potential cost would be better than on the condition.

Although I could see adding some kinda of cost in the ability

Then you just splash a couple good genesis or joshua heroes in your meta deck to get the free speed.

True, the card has some issues which are a huge benefit without a cost. The card should probably be" If a Joshua or Genesis hero is in battle, search a deck for a lost soul. Lost soul's owner may draw one or search deck for a Character." or something like that.

well I could see a judge/Joshua deck abusing the thing immensely :P

Maybe just make it specific to the Heroes mentioned on the original Promised Land card: "If Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, or David is in battle, you may..."

I think if it has anything to do with Joshua or David it shouldn't draw.
