I like it.  Does the "cannot be prevented" stop Chariot of Fire and David's Harp from working?

Those artifacts don't prevent anything, they simply target hero(es) in your discard pile. This doesn't actually prevent CoF or DH, it just gives them less targets when they do trigger.

What I mean is, if you have Chariot of Fire active on every rescue attempt, none of your heroes will ever go to your discard pile, meaning that this card does not affect those heroes, right?

Your heroes would already be in your deck by the time his prep phase would happen if that is what you're asking.

This card removes any heroes present in your discard pile when it triggers. If your hero is shuffled via CoF or DH, it would not be present in your discard pile when this triggers so it would not be removed.

Correct. I designed that purposefully. I want COF/Dharp to work but I want this to kill them if you get it before COF. Honestly, I'd like to kill COF with it but I'm not sure...How about

Better?

A little OP as-is. I'd make it:

Sheol (means The Grave, but cooler)
Evil Fortress
-Plays to set-aside-
"Protect all Discard Piles from effect (except on Fortresses and Sites)."

Harder to get rid of, doesn't shut down Super Job, and discourages use with a turtle since you can't abuse Amon.

Thanks. Apparently someone isn't a fan XD
