Red Site
Protect lost souls in this site from rescue except by a lone hero or a dominant.
I Samuel 17:6 "For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand."
(Alternative abilities I considered - 1. If this site is occupied prevent banding abilities on opponent's heroes - This seemed too powerful though., 2. Lost souls in this site can only be rescued by Warrior-class heroes - This also seemed too powerful.)

Green Site
Lost souls in this site can only be rescued by a lone, unbanded hero.
I Samuel 17:6 "For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand."
Interesting concept...I would word it like this: "Protect Lost Souls in this site from rescue except by a lone Hero or a Dominant."
My reasoning: It's a protect ability anyway, so it might as well make it obvious. Unbanded is redundant, people by now should now that lone Hero = no banding going on. And since people have complained enough that there are Lost Souls that protect themselves from Son of God, it would be wise to avoid making Sites that can protect them.

I changed it.
I only specified "unbanded" because there was some confusion up here about access. Say it's a green site, and the battle is won by a banded green, white and gold hero. Someone might say that its still a "lone" hero rescuing the lost soul, because the other two do not have access anyway.
Same thing with Claudia banded to Simeon to rescue the Female Only. It's only being rescued by a "lone" hero because only 1 hero has access (or so goes the argument). I get what you're saying, and agree with it. We all just need to understand the term "lone" to mean "unbanded" rather than "the only hero with access to the lost soul". Thanks for the help.

Good card i could see it being used a lot.

I love it, but I'd still make it Red. While Shepherd David was the one who took victory here, it was a battlefield and he was the champion of the Hebrew military.

OK, we need better red sites anyway.

Irony of an anti banding site being red? Which I love.

Yes, there were thousands of warriors standing around there too scared to accept the challenge. Classic.
