"You may choose to protect your characters from being brought into battle by an opponent. Protect your cards in play, set-aside, hand, deck, and discard pile from opponents' protect abilities."

Art, reference, etc. would all be the same, this would just be a straight reprint with a reworded ability to work against Goliath (it might need to be reworked, but you get the idea) and a little extra incentive to use the card.

Not sure how I feel about it yet, but this would definitely be more interesting in multiplayer as well.  "Oh, you have Gomer, and I have KoT?  And that guy has 3 already...I decline to use Wall "

However, I think this would get a little funky with targeting, and what happens if I target your character when you have Wall and you decline, can I still band to one of mine?

I'm pretty sure that would be a no. You use your ability to try to band to me, I say no thanks, the end. I think that's consistent with other "no re-targeting" rules, but then again, I'm fat and stupid, so don't take my word for it.

Intuitively, it would seem strange to have a character going "Could I band to you? Oh, okay. Could I band to you? Oh, I see, you're busy, no problem..."

Naz doesn't need a tech. Naz is a tech. If you hate Naz so much use one of the plethora Site Killing cards.

It would work better if you took out the second protecting ability, but otherwise I would use wall of protection this way if they made a reprint

"Protect your characters in territory from being brought into battle by an opponent. Once per turn, you may negate this ability. Protect your hand and deck from opponents' cards."

We already have that card, it's call Wall of Protection.
I like the idea, for the most part.

That's why the title says Wall of Protection reprint.

"Protect your characters in territory from being brought into battle by an opponent. Once per turn, you may negate this ability. Protect your hand and deck from opponents' cards."

That wouldn't work, because if an ability has already fired, it's too late to not have your characters targeted.

"If your character would be brought into battle by an opponent, you may do nothing instead..."
