Title: Treasures in Heaven
Post by: megamanlan on March 15, 2017, 01:11:50 PM

So I came up with this idea... I don't totally like the name, but its all I could think of that might be able to fit with the card... so... Im open to different names for the card and opinions on it.

Once per turn, If you have a Redeemed Soul and card(s) in your territory is targeted by a Special Ability: Place those card(s) in your Land of Redemption instead until your next Upkeep Phase.

First, Redemption doesn't have "effects" it has special abilities. Second, if this is supposed to save/protect the cards getting targeted then it needs to have an instead ability, otherwise it only does something if those cards are still in territory after the targeted ability resolves.

I'll update that tomorrow. What do you think of the concept?

I'm still confused as to what "them" is or refers to. The trigger targets singular card, so what "them" are you putting in the LoR instead?

The cards. I was just trying to find a way to shorten the wording a bit.

I understand what you meant, I'm just pointing out that there's a plurality issue between the target sentence and the instead sentence. The first only targets one card, the second somehow then insteads multiple cards. Just needs to be cleaned up a bit.

I'll add an (s) to card in the first sentence
