Title: Well Done

Well Done
Good Dominant
If you have 4 Lost Souls in your Land of Bondage, and 4 Lost Souls in your Land of Redemption, place this in your territory. Opponent must rescue 6 Lost Souls to win. If Opponent discards your Artifact, negate and discard this.


I'm really bad at deciding whether something is balanced or not so please don't stone me if this is OP.

Hm... I don't think anyone would use this... but if they could pull it off it's OP. :D

OP means Over Powered

And I'm not really sure what to think of this. It's not over powered, but I dunno how useful it'd be.

If you have 4 Lost Souls in your Land of Bondage, and an opponent has 3 or more Lost Souls in their Land of Redemption, place this in their territory. That opponent must rescue 6 Lost Souls to win. If Opponent discards your Artifact, negate and discard this.

STONE HIM!!!!!!          ;)

Actually, I like this card a lot.  Slightly difficult to use, and easily negated, but the benefit is great.  I would change it to this:

Doms can't be negated, so I changed it to just discard.  I also think it should say 4 or more in your LoB.  I also think that this card should be more like a rescue net.  So, if your opponent has 4 redeemed souls and you have many Lost Souls, then this is helpful.  Anyway, just a few ideas.

Well, not really that easily negated. I might stop using my artifacts to make my opponent rescue one more in the endgame.

I would say instead of saying 6 lost souls it should say "One more lost soul than normal" or something like that so it is useful in T2

This just gave speed decks the boost they needed to win.

You draw like crazy, so you're gonna get out your ls. You don't have much defense, so your opponent should get 4 pretty fast.
